Cecil Frederick Thomas Coulson 1885 - 1955

[Schoch]

Cecil was born in County Durham to parents Frederick Coulson and Annie Mary Munnoch.  He MAY have married the following women;

Mary Conway in 1915 (Liverpool) 1890 - 1938 (3 children, Richard 1920; Ernest 1922;Joseph 1920)

Maria (Mary) Farrell (unk.location for marriage, born Abt.1886 (unk death details)  (at least 2 children; Thomas Cecil 1913 ;Joseph 1919)

Elizabeth Hynes  in 1940. Born 1898 in Preston.

In a 1939  Census Cecil is listed as a Widower. Living with Bridie Hynes (Housekeeper) and the 3 children listed above.
At his death his widow is shown as Elizabeth (Bridie) Coulson. I am assuming he married his housekeeper.
My interest is in Thomas Cecil ( I have a DNA link to a descendent of his)

Do I have the details correct or is there more than one Cecil involved in these marriages. I also have a proven  direct link to his sister Whilhemina Coulson 1890 - 1977.

Hope I have not confused everyone.

Any guidance appreciated

Can't quite understand the dates there.

He married Mary Conway in 1915 but had children with Maria Farrell in 1913 and 1917 

Do you have any of the marriage certificates to confirm anything?
