    The only marriage I can see on FreeBMD 1935 - 1950 is this one but the only part of the brides name which matches your details is the first name Elizabeth
    Marriages June 1/4 1947
    Elizabeth Evans to John P McCluskey registration district Liverpool N. vol10d page 701

    I see Blanche died
    Deaths June 1/4 1967
    BLANCHE MCCLOSKEY age 71 reg dist. BUCKLOW 10A/151

    So did Blanche and John divorce or maybe John and Betty Jane Sheldrake-Hewlett (aka Elizabeth Jane lived together without marrying until maybe after Blanche's death and then they married in Australia.

    The mother's maiden name of Hewlett matches the two children.

    There is the possibiity that both John and Elizabeth/Betty left their spouses.

    dear everyone
    thankyou. I have noted the marriage to Harold Davis.
    will try and sort out what kids belong to what father.
    according to another tree, they havent mentioned Harold. They state that Betty had 5 children using McCloskey as father, but have not listed their names except for Miranda b1957d1958.
    Betty died 20 SEp 2013 Canterbury Kent. too soon to get a death cert to find out other childrens names.
    thanks Doreen

    The marriage registration for William George Worrell proves that Betty/Elizabeth was known as Elizabeth J S Davis as well as Betty J McCloskey as both of those names are listed against William's.
