Heather, it's a possibility that Margaret and George parted after 1939. Believe I have found him by himself in London until 1963 in St Pancras  then nothing afterwards. The below death is a contender for his death

Deaths Mar 1964   
RULE    GEORGE    aged 74    ST.PANCRAS    5D   46

I believe they must have parted as I have now found Margaret Rule on the 1949 Register, Willesdon, back with Robert Burgess and their son Hamilton. They were living at 15 Hoveden Road which was Margaret's address when she married George!

It's very complicated :
Margaret (Burgess) had a son, Terence, born 1934 (he was a twin but the second child died) and no father was named on the registration. However, she re-registered him in 1945, after her marriage to George in 1943, and named George as the father. I have the certificates.
 I wonder if Margaret had a "fling" with George while married to Robert. He divorced her, she maried George then later regretted it!
When Margaret and George married she was the "divorced wife of Robert Burgess" but I can't find any records of a divorce.  Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated!
Thank you for all your help. I am gradually building up a picture of events!
Heather.

The regiment number is unclear but looks like 13019383.

Can you post a scan or photo of that part of the marriage record?

13019383 was a soldier named E Wilson born in 1899.

Looking closely the 3 could be a 5?

On the certificate it is clearly13019 - 83.  The missing number is unclear and I'm afraid so is my scan!

Looks more like a 6 to me but it doesn't help much. As Jim reported there is no mention of George Rule on the MoD listings of soldiers born before 1901 and discharged after 1920.

I have found George & Margaret together on the 1946 electoral register living at this address. By 1947 Margaret is by herself, and 1949 Margaret with her son Hamilton. The Robert Burgess also in the household could also be a son and not her husband.
