Sadler(born 1904) in the Westminster Reg District in the 1st Qtr of 1934, but had sort a petition for/of nulity in the Divorce Court in 1937, see National Archive J77/3565/547 for details. Other details note that her parents where Ernest Walters Price(born 1877 son of Hugh P. & Edwina Price of Narberth) who mrd Monica Snow Phelps(born 1881 dau of Peter & Emily Gilroy Phelps Vicar of Ambleston) in 2nd Qtr of 1904 in the Haverfordwest Reg Dist.
