Received marriage certificate:
Married by License at Settle Register Office, 16 Sep 1939.
John Allcock 76, Bachelor, Formerly a Limestone Quarryman. Father Samuel Allcock (Limestone Quarryman deceased).
Ann Pickford 64, Spinster. Father Henry Pickford (Limestone Quarryman deceased).
Both resident at Main Street, Langcliffe at time of wedding.
This confirms research regarding their parents (thanks to all who helped/guided me). It confirms that neither were previously married as long as they were telling the truth! Ann did give her name as Allcock on daughter Betsy's birth certificate in 1913.
I don't think there is any way I can ever find anything about them between being in separate households in the same hamlet in 1901 census and living together in Settle in 1911 census (when/why they moved, etc.).
