Notes for Marion Stapylton Fletcher

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

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.
