A very distant relative, Jean Lesley Macan, is shown in the 1939 Register as a pupil nurse in Henley. Her birth date is given as 13.7.1913.
Her name is modified on the Register, suggesting marriages to to Candler and Cramond.
I know that she was married to Albert C Candler in 1944 - and then divorced in 1949 - but newspaper articles show that she continued to live in Kensington until at least 1958 as Mrs Jean Candler, running a nursery school.
FMP has a record of her death in 1984, and a probate record giving her address in London - under the name of Jean Lesley Cramond.
However, I have not found any indication of the Candler-Cramond marriage - using Family Search, Ancestry, Findmypast or freeBMD
Any ideas? Could she just have changed her name to re-invent herself?
We welcome any query on Who When Where. If you have previously posted it on another forum (including the old WDYTYA forum), please state this in your opening post - this will save people redoing the research which has been done before: they can look at it and possibly go further with it.

Re: Jean Lesley Cramond
Could the second marriage have been in Scotland? Cramond is a Scottish name. Check Scotland's People website for a possible marriage.
Re: Jean Lesley Cramond
Amazing! Solved in minutes ... she married James Cramond in 1960! Thank you so much
Hmm but for someone so firmly based in SE England, it seems odd to get married in Scotland ... that's love I guess

Re: Jean Lesley Cramond
Devonliz, are you forgetting Gretna Green? Many an English marriage took place there
