Anne, on the marriage that Andy posted it means that Phyllis was also known, or had been known, by those surnames.

This is the FreeBMD version:

Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Dec 1948

Collins Phyllis Cooper Chelsea 5c 545
Cooper Albert A Cooper Chelsea 5c 545
Cooper Albert A Collins Chelsea 5c 545
Cooper Albert A Payton Chelsea 5c 545
Cooper Phyllis Cooper Chelsea 5c 545
Payton Phyllis Cooper Chelsea 5c 545

The fact that one of the surnames listed for her (Cooper) implies she was already using Albert's surname before they married. The other surnames given for her could be her maiden name and most possibly a previously married surname.

No, I think that was the lady he DID marry. There seems to be a mix up with the names. He married Phyllis Payton.
Thanks Andy.

The marriage cert should give his marital status .providing he was being truthful.

Sometimes when someone was divorced they forgot about the previous marriage and reverted back to being single!
