There are four marriages for Nicholas S Tanner:
Last name First name(s) Year Location
Tanner Nicholas S 1980 Colchester, Essex
Tanner Nicholas S 1989 Ipswich, Suffolk
Tanner Nicholas S 1993 Andover, Hampshire
Tanner Nicholas S 2002 Ystradgynlais, Breconshire, Wales
The fairly obvious one is the first because Colchester is where his father was living at his death in 1994. But a little bit better evidence is needed. and I think it has to be from the marriage certificate, which I shall order.
