Notes for Marion Stapylton Fletcher
Her birth index:

Name:                          Mother's Maiden Surname:
FLETCHER, MARION STAPYLTON     CHETWYND-STAPYLTON  
GRO Reference: 1914  D Quarter in MAIDSTONE  Volume 02A  Page 1572
____________________

There is no death of any Marion S Fletcher born in 1914, so she most likely married.

There are three marriages of Marion S Fletchers:

Last name  First name(s)   Year    Location                       Spouse
Fletcher   Marion S        1937    Elham, Kent                    Humphrey Pares
Fletcher   Marion S        1941    Wolverhampton, Staffordshire   William A Ricketts
Fletcher   Marion S F      1956    Ilford, Essex                  Albert S Hunt

The last has an extra forename so I will exclude it.
The second is rather a distance from her family’s tramping ground, so I am not keen on it.  Further there is another Marion S Fletcher who was born in 1914 in Wolverhampton, Staffs, so this is fairly definitely not her.
The first is definitely in the family’s tramping ground so I will try it out and see what appears.

(Surnames of children in a will can determine which was the spouse of a daughter.)

There are 4 Pares children with a mother’s maiden name of Fletcher from 1937 to 1957:

Last name  First name(s)  Year Of Birth  Location
Pares      Penelope I     1939           West Ashford, Kent
Pares      Susan C        1941           West Ashford, Kent
Pares      Teresa J       1946           Ashford, Kent
Pares      Frances C      1948           Folkestone, Kent
_________________

In 1939 this definitely looks like her, the forenames are right, the birth date is in the right quarter; she was at Studfall Ridge Lympne Hill, Hythe, Hythe M.B., Kent:

First name(s)  Last name(s)  Birth date  Sex  Occupation  Marital status  Schedule  Schedule sub number
Marion S  Pares    07 Nov 1914  F  Masshouse Managere    M  97  1
The record for this person is officially closed.
Ruby W    Burgess  30 May 1919  F  Paid Domestic Duties  S  97  3

1939 ref: Ref: RG101/1742C/008/28

I don’t know where husband was.  Line 2 must be for her first child.  Her job was ‘Glasshouse Manageress’.

Her will has been ordered on 29th Nov 2021.
_________________

Her will was dated 21st December 1979 and in it she appointed Humphrey Pares, her husband, and John Montague Gray, her son-in-law, to be her executors.

She died at The New Close, Conyngham Lane, Bridge, Kent, leaving £263000 gross and £79000 net.

She also listed:

1. Her four sons-in-law in this order:
   (a) Peter Furler
   (b) John Montgomery Gray,
   (c) William Papas
   (d) Nigel Harland
2. Her daughters:
   (a) Penelope Iris Furler,
   (b) Susan Caroline Gray,
   (c) Theresa Judith Papas
   (d) Frances Campbell Harland

My view is that the first son-in-law was married to the first daughter and so on.  The should solve the problem of what happened to Penelope Iris after she split from George Simey.

her will was good value is sorting out a few unknowns.
