Many thanks for all your posts guys. All very useful info especially the military.
Abraham Stevens and Esther Eliza Stevens ties in with the marriage certificate. I don't understand why his middle name is referred to as Alywin when it is documented as Alfred at his son's wedding in 1918.
I am pretty sure he served in the army in WW1 according to family anecdotes and this is verified on his wedding certificate. A Donald John Stevens died in the March quarter of 1982 in Exeter and his birth is recorded on 15 Dec 1891. This fits with him being 27 on his wedding day 19 Dec 1918. However there is a military naval record of a Donald Stevens born in Peterborough on 15 Dec 1891 who served on the HMS Impregnable. This seems to be too much of coincidence.
