Notes for Marjorie Anderson Mann
In 1939 she was living at Woodwatch, Barrow Green Road, Godstone R.D., Surrey, married and with two young, redacted, children and the novelist Naomi Jacob:

First name(s)  Last name(s)  DOB  Sex  Occupation  Marital status  Schedule  Schedule Sub Number
Marjorie A  Zambra   25 Dec 1899  Female  Unpaid Domestic Duties   Married  66  1

Agnes B     Neilson  25 Nov 1918  Female  Piad Domestic Duties    Single  66  4
Naomi       Jacob    01 Jul 1889  Female  Novelist                Single  66  5

Ref: RG101/1941A/009/15

This means she was 26 at marriage, and that her busband was much more likely to have been the one born in 1885 and thus 40 at marriage.  (In fact he was born in 1898 and thus 27 at marriage.)

She was still living at the same house at her death in 1989.

The two children turn out to have been (1) Susan Victoria and (2) Christina Marjorie.

In 1911 she was with the whole same family at 43 Rhosddu Road Wrexham, Wrexham Regis, Denbighshire, Wales and with one extra younger sister.

I cannot account for the subsequent addition of Anderson for her second name.

Perhaps it would be sensible to get hold of her and Warren's marriage certificate to sort out who their fathers were and their ages at marriage.  Ordered on 17 Nov 2019.  Received on 25 Nov, no surprises, see their marriage Notes.
