My question concerns Albert Edward Leese (1889) of Old yard, Lilleshall. He died in 1970 in Wrekin Hosptal, Wellington.
Is it possible to find out who Albert married or if in fact he did.
This is one of the blanks missing on my Tree

Have you looked for a marriage on freebmd?
Have you looked for him on the 1939 register? I can see an entry in Shropshire with a wife’s name
www.freebmd.org.uk
He left a will

I note his birth and death on family search. The only marriages are in England, none in Wales.
All are in Stoke on Trent, Two in 1922 and one 1930. It looks like there were 3 eligible Albert E Leese born in Stoke, so it looks unlikely that your Albert was married, but I have been wrong before!

This seems to be his wife:
National Probate Records
Mary Elizabeth LEESE-died Aug 9 1972
Journeys End Furnace La Wrockwardine Wood Telford Salop
(this is the same address as the Probate for Albert.)
As CaroleW said-check the 1939 register for them.
Guessing this might be the marriage:
