Hello,

I am looking to find out more information on Samuel W Woodley who married Violet Pauline Pound in 1943 in Totnes Devon.
I have all the details on my grandmother Violet but i know nothing about her first husband?!
Can some one help

Do you know when he died?
Thank-you

Buying their marriage certificate would give age, father's name, any previous marriage etc

Did they divorce or did he die naturally, and when did she marry again?

Is this her second marriage?

We cross-posted.

So, was she divorced or widowed?

Did he die in the War?

Free bmd gives these births, I think you need the marriage certificate if you have little idea of age or other clues.
Births Mar 1890
Woodley Samuel William Totnes 5b 189
Births Mar 1919

Do you know how many children they had? (2 daughters, 1944 and 1946?)

They divorced.
He was born in Dartmouth.
They had 1 child as far as i know

There is another daughter showing in 1946 with Woodley/Pound names, in free bmd.

Dartmouth comes under Totnes.

Whats the name of the other daughter? I can't find anyone born in 1945-1947 with the woodley?

Sonia in 1946.

I think you need the marriage certificate so we have a better idea of age. (As the two that I have posted are 40 years different....)
If born 1919 he could still be alive....

Was he definitely born in Dartmouth, or just living there when married?

Occupation?

Sonia died soon after she was born:

Births Mar 1946

Deaths Mar 1946
