I am looking for a 1939 entry for Marjorie May Cocks(she was married 1936 her maiden name was Adams) she was married in Islington to a Alexander Charles Cocks I cannot find him as well but could have been in the navy but his record shows him being discharged in 1936. Can you help.

Marjorie probably died in Hampshire in 1992. It appears that she entered the USA at some time but I don't have a world sub.

Edit: sometimes they appear as Cooks and sometimes as Cocks.

She was in a Electrol Register for London in 1950 and she only went to America as a short trip, thank you for looking
