The informant on the death cert may be a relative..........

He may not have married......................

Do you have his birth cert? Or is the birth date taken from the death reg'n?

Was his birth actually in Marlborough? Or was it simply registered in that district?

Is Marlborough in Wiltshire? If so he obviously moved around a bit. There are a few William R, Cullen marriages (not many) but they are all over the place. Have you found him in 1911?

He was born in Marlborough as I have his birth certificate, and the dates tie up with the William Robson Cullen that died in Kings Lynn, there also appears to be some Cullens in that area.

Have lost track a bit, but could this be her birth?

Births Mar 1899 (>99%)
Hornsey Dora Jane Woolwich 1d 1322

I too cannot see a Hornsey/Brown marriage.
