So, so helpful...thank you so very much.
It's all a little puzzling...your records show that my nan married Frederick John Davis in spring 1939....and she married again in Winter 1939 to William Stevenson, in Staines, Middlesex. I thought maybe there were 2 Muriel Humphries and I had got them confused but I cannot find a second one born in 1917 so it has to be her. The only thing we knew about my nan was that her dad was called Tom so this definately fits. She claimed to have been an orphan, but I have found a distant cousin who claims this is nonsense and she went to a grammar school in Pengam....
Nan had a daughter, Barbara, in a/m/j 1939 (registered in Brentford), shortly after her marriage to Fred, but registered the child as Humphries. I can only presume that Frederick John Davis died very shortly after they married, but haven't found a death record (yet). I only have one clue - shortly before my nan passed away, she told my aunt that her eldest daughter Barb had a different dad, so again, that would fit with Frederick JOhn Davis being the father, just need to find a reason for her to have left GLoucestershire and end up in Middlesex.

You are such a helpful genius...thank you...
