HODDER , MARION ALICE
Seems my father married before going to the war and she died before his return. No children. I suspect the above person as she died 27/07/1944 and from the same town. Dad passed before I got this bug to search my history.
Hope someone can help before TM closes this board. Talk about losing a whole community. Really sad.

Agree with you about losing this msg board.

I have found Noel Austin Hodder married Marion Alice Meyrick/Nelson in 1941, folio 02649

Is that your Dad?

I will go look to see which is her birth surname, and for the previous marriage.

Here is her first marriage

1934/6175 Marion Alice NELSON, to Colin Clarence MEYRICK

There is a divorce file listed on Archway for Colin Clarence MEYRICK , 1939
