Collard Doris Blean 2a 818
______________
David Turner told me of her late marriage in 1963 and this record seems to be it:
Name: COLLARD, Doris
Registration district: [?] Croydon
County: Surrey
Year of registration: 1963
Quarter of registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Spouse's last name O'reilly
Volume no: [?] 5G
Page no: [?] 196
Name: O'REILLY, John S
Registration district: Croydon
County: Surrey
Year of registration: 1963
Quarter of registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Spouse's last name: Collard
Volume no: 5G
Page no: 196
David kindly provided Doris’ photo from Bill Lonnen’s site on Ancestry.
He then also collected her birth and death certificates and reported:
“The marriage entry shows that on 14 September 1963, at St Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Croydon, she married John Stephen O'Reilly. She was aged 69 and was a spinster. Both parties gave their address as 20 Christchurch Road, Purley, so it may be that they were cohabiting before the marriage.
“The death entry shows that she died on 19 December 1965 at the Mayday Hospital in Croydon. Her age is given as "about 71 years" and she is stated to be the wife of Jack O'Reilly.”
TFPL, Sep 2014: On her death certificate it sayd
Date, etc: 19 Dec 1965, Maydat Hospital, Croydon
Name: Doris O’Reilly
Sex: Female
Age: about 71 years
Occupation: of Christchurch Road, Purley. Wife of Jack O Reilly. Occupation unknown (retired).
Cause of death: Thrombocytopaenia purpura, certified by M Harris M.B.
Informant: R d(?) Collard, Brother, 15 West parade, Horsham, Sussex
When registered: 20 Dec 1965
Registrar: L.L.Webber, Registrar.
The informant was almost certainly her brother Reginald Douglas Collard whose death was registered in 1989 in the Horsham registrartion district, Sussex. R D C was born in 1904 and was in the 1911 census with Doris, their parents and some of their siblings.

No children are to be found to the first marriage, though three were found to the second.
Oct 2014: David Turner has stumped up for the first marriage certificate and found that the Doris therein was 27 and her father is named as “Gordon Neville Collard (deceased), manager”. So this was NOT an earlier marriage of this Doris who was thus indeed a spinster are her marriage in 1963.
I am therefore categorising her as dsp.
