I have a Jane Pope b1914 Q2 Newport Glam; Gwent; Mon: MMN 'Simmonds'
I cant find a Marriage for Male Pope and Female Simmonds.
I haven't and cant look at Scotlands People though.

I think I have the Marriage of Jane to a Charles George in Newport 1934 which fits in with the line i'm exploring.

Any ideas? (fingers X it isn't Ireland)

It could be that Jane's mother was married before and therefore married again with her previous married name and not her maiden name.

Do you know if Jane had any brother's and sisters?

???? a real guess
Looking around for a Harry Pope who might have been in the Medway area, (born 1880 - 1890 to make him marriage age) in 1911 and found this one - in the Navy

1911 census transcription details for: Indomitable
Military details: Stoker Engine Room 416

National Archive Reference:
RG14PN3962 RD47 SD2 ED36 SN9999
Reg. District: Medway
Sub District: Gillingham
Parish:
Enum. District: 36
Address:
County: Kent
Name Relation Condition/Yrs married Sex Age Birth Year Occupation Where Born
POPE, Harry Single ? 23 1888 Bedford Bedfordshire

Birth - Harry Pope Biggleswade, Beds Sep Qtr 1882 3B 348
Bedford and Biggleswade about 10 miles apart as the crow flies - people had probably heard of Bedford!

Probably the death of her "brother"...so he stayed in Newport.

Name: Thomas Frederick Pope
Birth Date: 28 Jan 1916
Date of Registration: Jun 1987
Age at Death: 71
Registration District: Newport
Inferred County: Glamorgan, Monmouthshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire
Volume: 28
Page: 563

Assuming the marriage to Charles George is correct, there are five possibilities for children. I haven't managed to find a death for a Jane George that would give an actual dob for her.
