Weird, just tried FindMyPast search again with no result for Britton for 6th April. Manually searched deaths in EC for the 6th April and there it is nice and clear.

I gave up trying to find any logic in the newspaper site years ago. As you say on FindMyPast its about as clear as it ever gets so 'should' have been relatively easy for the OCR to read.

If the 1955 marriage is correct - Elizabeth was previously married as there are 4 births between 1956 & 1962 with a different mmn than Cooper

Elizabeth Brown married Douglas Cooper in 1947.  Douglas only appears to have died in 1995

Given that Joseph Britton was 40 in 1955 - was he also previously married?

Three trees on Ancestry have him born on 2nd March 1915 in Mansfield, Notts., and marrying Agnes G Heath, 1921-2005, but I can't find a marriage.

Also show a living son but, again, I can't see a record.

Wrong info on Ancestry tree!!

Agnes Gordon Heath supposedly b Cheadle 1921 - that birth was Agnes GENEVIEVE Heath

The Agnes GORDON Heath who died Staffs 2005 was b 12.1.1926 per death reg - but no birth found

[CaroleW]

Obit for Agnes GORDON Heath shows her as the wife of  "the late Tom"

There is an Administration entry for her on the probate site

www.staffordshirebmd.org.uk - 1958 marriage - Charles Ryan to Agnes Gordon Heath/Agnes Gordon Redmond

Marriage in Somerset 1943 - Agnes G Redmond to Harry Heath

This is what I was able to OCR on my iPad (no edits):

And on the BNA this is (I think) the OCR text:
