However I would have expected her to have married in Nottingham.
The first marriage was hers. See the name change in the 1939 register to Dering.

But no Dering births were found with a mother’s maiden name of Druce from 1940 to 1980 on FindMyPast for their ‘World’.
See her probate index for her second name of Bridgett, her mother’s maiden name and which thereby confirms that it was her.
