Marriage and Family Details

Spouse Leslie Maurice RATCLIFFE (1895-1955)
Marriage Q2 1923 (age 23-24) Lambeth
Although I am quite sure of the dates and locations I have for Leslie and Daisy following their marriage,I would be interested to learn how Leslie, born in Suffolk, and Daisy, born in London, came to meet and marry. I am also assuming that between their marriage in 1923 and the outbreak of war in 1939, they were living in or around the Lambeth area of London, but it is intriguing why Daisy was staying in a hotel in Torquay, whilst Leslie was working away from home, in Derby, on the night the 1939 Register was taken?

No children have been added to this marriage as it appears there was anouther Ratcliffe / Hill marriage in Lambeth around the same time as Leslie and Daisy, and although the birth of several offspring from a Ratcliffe / Hill marriage can be identified in Lambeth shortly after both weddings, without viewing the actual birth certificates, we cannot be absolutely sure which child goes with which marriage. Also, neither Daisy's or Leslie's 1939 register entries show any children being present with either of them, which may be a clue?

If anyone has any further information they would be willing to share, I would be delighted to hear from you.
