Inevitably there were a number of Wilsons with a mother's maiden name of Bradbury. Clearly, from Sydney's will Betty was his daughter, and the lack of mention of any other child suggests that probably no others survived him. The only other really likely child from date and location was Dennis, whose death when aged one explains his omission from the will.

The 1939 registration index appears to show that Alice was a Lewis at the time of the registration but subsequently became a Wilson.
This marriage is the only one of an Alice LEWIS to a WILSON on FreeBMD after 1939.
