There are two Bernard M McDermotts:

born     Full name         Birth loc    

1913 Q2  Bernard Michael   Pontefract
1919 Q2  Bernard Michael   Leeds

This will require greater care in finding who did what later on.

There are two marriages of Bernard M McDermotts:

Year  Qtr   Location        Bride              Groom

1941  Q4    Pontefract      Mary B Lennon      Bernard M
1941  Q2    Leeds           Josephine Towers   Bernard M

My guess is that each Bernard got married in the Registration district of their birth.

Lets see what births can be found for McDermott - Towers:

Last name  First name(s)  Year Of Birth   Location
McDermott  Paul M St J    1947            Leeds, Yorkshire, England
McDermott  Fiona M        1955            York, Yorkshire, England

And the McDermott-Lennon children:

Last name  First name(s)  Year Of Birth   Location
  None    <—  This makes it convenient.

But we still have not made certain which Bernard M McDermott was the father.
This Bernard left a will which has been ordered in the hope that this will say if he had the above children.

See the details in the Will Notes section.

The upshot is that he did marry Josephine Towere and they did have the above two children.
