Ellen and William married in 1942.

It looks like she may have remarried in 1960, and I can see them at a London address in 2002, but no ER later than that.

If she did remarry, this is her death - DOB fits birth in 1st qr 1923 Fulham:

Ellen Grace Vasiliou
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007

Death Age: 79
Birth Date: 27 Jan 1923

I don't see Robert's birth, but there's a possible daughter's birth in 1947 Fulham.

She may possibly have married twice, but seems to be living as Coulston in Kent in 2016, with two children from the second mariage.

Coulston family in 1939 -


William C Coulston
in the 1939 England and Wales Register
Name: William C Coulston
Gender: Male
Marital status: Married
Birth Date: 22 Mar 1886
Residence Year: 1939
Address: 37 Parnell House

Inferred Spouse: Ellen Coulston
Household Members:
Name
William C Coulston
Ellen Coulston - 20 Dec 1889

[and one closed record , at least as far as Ancestry's concerned.]


I assume these (above in 1939) are the parents of the William who married Ellen Percy - unless William was a lot older then Ellen Percy, and had had a previous wife also named Ellen:

???

Ellen Coulson

But can't see a Coulston/Coulson child.

How certain are you that the William Coulston on 1939 register with wife Ellen is the man who married Ellen Percy in 1942?

There was a difference of 37 years in their ages

The ROBERT referred to is on the ER for 1935, so must have been born before 1914

William Charles and Ellen Coulston were also at 5 Heckfield Place in 1926 ,1929 and 1933 - but no Robert .

So assuming Robert was their son, and that he hadn't been living elsewhere before 1935, he was probably born 1913-14 - to narrow down what Erika said.
But I don't see a likely birth as Coulston.

He would have to be a son of WC by a previous marriage, or a son of Ellen's by a previous marriage.
But he may be some other relation - not a son.

He's not with them by 1938 - they're still at 5 Heckfield Place.




William C and an Ellen were still at 37 William Parnell House in 1953:

Possibly Ellen's death, if she's the one born 1889 per 1939 register.

Deaths Sep 1953 (>99%)
COULSTON Ellen M 63 Chelsea 5c 242

If so, it must be a different William Charles who married Ellen Percy in 1942.
