In case you didn't notice it, the 1946 marriage of an Albert to Jessie Bacon, posted by Maddie, looks very likely.

Probate - Albert William Tolley of 3 Mayfield Road North End Portsmouth died 23 May 1983. Probate Winchester 29 June

From this site https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk

Free to use, you can order a copy of the will through the site which may give further information

possibly 2 daughter born 1946 amd 1958 portsmouth

The free site already mentioned would have shown you the possible marriage - would look likely as that is where he first married and had a daughter 1934

and it would have saved us looking for records you already had, if you had said initially that you were looking for records post his divorce.

he died 1983 portsmouth

Get a copy of his death cert to find out who the informant was

From same site as Albert's
