I hadn't considered the birth of Hilda Wolsen as I was looking for initially a Susan Wolton as per newspaper reports but I think you could be right. Thank You

London and Middlesex / martine wolson

(Sydney) James (Lionel) Martine married Susan Wolson in September 1934. He was 18 at the time and she was 16. He lived in Kensington and she lived in New Malden. He proposed in 1933 and she refused but accepted his proposition the following year. (Sue) Susan's mother was a widow, and had decided to go on a cruise to Australia before the engagement was announced. So the couple decided to cable her ship the Strathnaver asking for her consent. Sue's father was dead, and so were both of James parents. The reply came back that if Sue's aunt and brother agreed, the wedding could go ahead. They refused permission. The couple threatened to elope to Greta Green and the brother and aunt backed down, so James and Sue went to the Kensington registry office but the registrar refused to marry them. The couple went to Islington where they were again refused, then to Norbiton to be met with another refusal. They went to see the Registrar General who issued a licence to be married in Wimbledon but the priest refused as they were not in his parish. They then went to the Brompton Oratory from where they were referred back to their original registry at Kensington where they were told they would have to live within the boundary for 15 days. This they did and were married on September 15th.
My Query is the newspaper article refers to the bride being Susan Wolton whereas the register gives the name Hilda (EHN) Wolson . Wolson is the correct name which appears in Kellys Directory but I cannot find a birth for either a Hilda or Susan Wolson, or a death of a Hilda or Susan Martine anywhere.

Surrey / Re: Baron

Thank you everyone. I think that Bookbox may be right. Though why she has the added name of Violet escapes me. I think I will order the marriage certificate to be sure.

Surrey / Baron

Hello
I am trying to find a mystery woman! According to free BMD Frederick William Paine married Violet Rachel Baron in the Kingston Upon Thames District September Qtr 1908, and yes according to the census for 1911 she is listed at 24 London Road with the marriage has lasted two years. Her age is given as (about) 35 could be 55 and her place of birth as Wigan Lancs though part of this could have been crossed through.
I can find no mention of any Violet Baron in Wigan or any death of Violet Paine to confirm her age.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
PS It is said the marriage was not a happy one!

Many thanks tidybooks

It certainly looks as though the dates don't correspond, which throws doubt on the second and third marriages, and also some possible subsequent marriages of the brides.
