As far as i am aware and we have relatives that are pretty certain, she never married anyone else! Only wilfred! BUT interestingly, she did have two partners beforehand that were in the war. An american soldier and a welsh soldier (both at different times just to clear that up lol), and the american soldier had quite a story behind him! so who knows, maybe there was more about Doris we don't know!
