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.
