So the possible marriage of Arthur i posted earlier (reply no8) is wrong.

Maybe Arthur Pearce to Gladys Davenport, registered in Chester, SepQ 1925.

Sorry Deirdre,  I did not mean to confuse.  I was just posting it as another option until we hear from NicolaasMars about the fathers details on the marriage

It’s ok Rosie, it seems quite likely that that is the divorce, but yes, his father’s name will help (i’m quietly confident in the Conway / Colwyn Bay / Ellesmere info i found)

Baptism for an Arthur Pearce who was born 14th December 1902 (matches death certificate)
Baptised Lostock Graham January 28th 1903 - parents Arthur & Eliza - Abode Mere - Fathers occupation Jockey

Birth Mar qtr 1903   
Pearce    Arthur   
MMN Berry    
Bucklow reg district    8a   197

Marriage June qtr 1902 
Berry    Eliza

That birth could fit the 1925 Davenport marriage in Chester

That looks like a really good match Rosie (i take back my quiet confidence, though i was at least in roughly the right area of the UK 🙄).

Sorry for the delay in responding to the queries--dental appointment intervened...

Arthur Pearce was at his (second) marriage in 1977 "aircraft inspector (retired)". His father's name is given as Arthur John Pearce (deceased), race horse owner and trainer.

I have to study this more carefully but it seems that this puzzle has been solved. Thank you very much!
