When did Marian die?

There were children born to both marriages whose details cannot be given here as they are probably still alive.  Have you contacted them for information?

At least one child can be tracked using the marriage index and www.192.com

My friend is the daughter Marion, but she knows nothing about her mother who was not in her life. She would like to know what happened to her mother after second marriage and if she had another family. She would also like to find out if her mother stayed in Blackpool or moved away .Thanks for the input from everyone who replied.

Both the children of William had contact with him and had good relations with him and arranged his funeral.
It is Marian's daughter who wonders what happened to her mother and her marriage to John /Jack Heaps and any information  if she had another family. If anyone has any knowledge  of the Heaps family.
Thank you.

www.freebmd.org.uk - search for Heap births with mmn Walker (not Hallihan)

The second birth I found is not connected to the second marriage.  Too close to the first birth

There is also the possibility she & Heap divorced & she re-married.  There is also the possibility she is still alive as there is no obvious death for her under Heap

You are referring to John as Heaps but the marriage is Heap.

Heap is a common name unfortunately. Do you have a copy of the marriage certificate? That might show his father’s name.
It should show an occupation for John which could help trace him in later records.
Do you have any idea of his age/birth year?
Is there an address on the certificate to check with electoral registers, telephone directory?

Should the name be Heaps rather than Heap?
Was he generally called Jack rather than John?

It might be a good idea for your friend to purchase the marriage certificate. It would hopefully show some details about a John that might help.
