I have a marriage for John W J Osborn married to Beatrice Taylor in 1935. I believe they had one son called John. John and Beatrice Divorced but did she remarry and have anymore children? And who were her parents? And any other information that is available. Thanks in advance.

1939 Register does NOT show an alternative surname for Beatrice, which tends to suppose that she did not remarry. Date of birth given as 17 December 1905.
Purchase of the marriage certificate should give you at least her father's name - assuming she did not make it up :-\ :-\

The image for the 1935 marriage is on FindMyPast
John William Joseph Osborn and Beatrice Ethel Taylor.
The death notice for Beatrice in 1961 says loving wife and probate shows her as wife of JWJ Osborn.
Is this the correct couple?

I was told Beatrice left John. And John had another child called Janet I believe later in life. The son John was brought up in Devon for some reason. That's all the information I have I'm afraid.
