I've done more research and the marriage you think happened in 1935 between Edward Patrick Foley and Eleanor Mabel Humbley was not that of Mario.  The Foley in that marriage was born in 1897 in Silvertown Essex.  This maybe why the father's occupation is stated as police inspector rather than Clerk/Ship's Clerk as you know it to be.  The more likely marriage was in 1944 in Cairo to a name I have but won't state on the offchance she's living.

Dear Clint,

Well this is so confuseing, you say the marriage in 1935 , is not that of Mario,can i just say the marriage certificate i have of 1935, clearly states the marriage took place at kensington register office of march 1935,which also gives the profession of Mario as a wrestler and a boxer as indeed he was,along with the fathers names and addresses, and Edward Patrick Foley's father 's profession as police inspector

were did you get your information that this is incorrect

Hi there,  my name is Angela, and Edward Patrick Foley was my maternal grandfather, whom I met many times growing up in Willesden.  My Mum, was his 2nd daughter, she sadly passed aged 83 in 2018. Yes my grandfather was a wrestler,  and born in Alexandria, Egyot. This is definitely correct, him and my Nan lived in Willesden High Road Brent for awhile. I am very interested in any news . Thanking you. Wishing you A very Merry Christmas 🎅

Hello,
I am a historian from Egypt, and while I was working on an intriguing series of demonstrations that took place in Alexandria Egypt in 1907, to prevent the extradition of 3 Russian anarcho-syndicalists pursued by the tsarist authorities, I found the name of William Patrick Foley. He was arrested in the demonstrations, for having taken part in “the outrage at the Russian consulate” as reported by the Egyptian Gazette. He was then released on bail. The Alexandria city policy accused him of being at the head of the demonstrators and of having encouraged them. He was said to be one of the men who rushed upon the door of the Russian consulate and pulled down the coat of arms above the door, and also attempted to break it. The gazette reports that when Yousbashi Mussa effendi and constable John Iken tried to prevent him, he turned on them and assaulted them. Foley was sentenced to two months’ imprisonment, and was incarcerated in Hadra prison (The Egyptian Gazette, 6 feb 1907, p.3). My hero:)
