Hi Jemmifer,

I can see a possible marriage in Dover, June quarter 1912, John Greer to Alice K E Bedwell

No idea about pensions, sorry!

Using the site I mentioned above (not complete but pretty good coverage) there are 2 Greer children with mother's maiden name Bedwell:

Sep 1912 Dover 2a 2123   
Robert Greer

Mar 1914 Woolwich  1d 2251   
Margaret R Greer

You can't be sure the John Greer who married in 1912 is your John Greer unless you order the marriage cert to check that his age/occupation/father's name are correct  :)
