First of all you need to look up their marriage. Which district - do you have any clues? What were their names?

Evening everyone, my aunt (who I am named after ) married an American in 1945 in England and the story is that she went to America with him and in illness came back to England and died two years later.
I feel an affinity to her (both have same name, both nurses and people say that we look alike) and wish to find out more.
Can anyone suggest any ways of finding out how she went, with whom and how and when she travelled back.
I would also like to know what happened to her husband,
Hoping for assistance and guidance, Joan
