Wow. Thank you so much I knew my grandad Frederick had been married before and had a son Ernest Charles by the look of the dates it might have been a shotgun wedding! Frederick married my gran Dorothy Daisy May Ham in 1922 I will have to send for the marriage cert. of Mary E Kings to double check it's the same one.
Regards
Anne
