Cissie Chesher was born on 12 March 1894. In 1930 she married Alfred Leonard Stubbs. Alfred died in 1933. On the 1939 register she is shown as Cissie Stubbs widow. However the surname has been crossed through and Jackson written by it with a date in the margin in 1946.
All seems straightforward - Poor Cissie who only had three years of wedded bliss goes on to marry a Mr Jackson in 1946, probably sometime before the date recorded on 1939 register because I believe that is the date the record is amended not the date of the event.
Next step: look for a marriage of Cissie Stubbs in 1946. The record says her spouse's surname is Ponting or Jackson - so it looks like she has married a man who is known by two surnames. Then I looked up marriages with the same reference number to a lady with surname Stubbs for both Mr Ponting and Mr Jackson.
I was expecting to find the two records with the same forenames, or possibly the forenames reversed. But the two names are Walter C Ponting and George E Jackson. No similarity in the forenames at all. The registration district is Essex SW, Q1 1946, reference 4a 557.
Cissie's death seems to have been registered as Jackson (1976).
Can anyone find anything more about George E Jackson and did he start life as Walter C Ponting. As Cissie is only a distant relative I don't want to purchase the marriage cert unless necessary. I think they may have married in a Register Office, so my SEAX sub is no use here.
