Well, I'm nosey - and although I'm usually good at deciphering, this one had me stumped, so i used a bit of lateral thinking - we didn't know the marriage date or where they married but she must have died  ;)

Ergo..........

Gadget, you never cease to amaze me!!!!

Thank you so much!!!  I must admit, I would never have got 'Overend' from reading that!!!

Interestingly, I still can't find a marriage, so I am now beginning to think that they muct have either married outside Scotland or in 1931!

Strike that - I have found it.  Yet again Bett mistranscribed as Bell  ::)

Cheers,
