Default Who did Francis marry?

I have this from freeBMD:
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Marriages Dec 1901

FLETCHER Francis Drake Richmond.S. 2a 893
GRAHAM Henry Montgomery Richmond, S. 2a 893
HAMILTON Blanche Irene Richmond, S. 2a 893
MARSHALL Florence Richmond S. 2a 893

Francis Drake Fletcher was born 5/3/1865 in London, Middlesex to Charles Fletcher and Lucy nee Drake.

I can not find either Francis or Henry M Graham on the 1911 to eliminate either woman. I can't find a notice in the Times nor anything else for Francis after this date.

Can anyone else solve this for me?

I've found nothing yet, but Henry Montgomery Graham seems to have been a bad egg, if it's the same one - Google his name and have a look!

Ooh, having said that, now I look properly at one of the matches on Google, it says "Probate of the Will of Henry Montgomery Graham late of Daisymount Dundonald County Down Dairyman (Retired) who died 24 September 1911 granted at Belfast to Charles Hamilton Farmer and Thomas McClenaghan Foreman." Which suggests Henry probably married Blanche Irene Hamilton and that would leave Francis Drake Fletcher marrying Florence Marshall.

Okay, I was absolutely wrong there! Looking at the Irish 1911 census, Henry Montgomery Graham's wife is Florence age 32, so Francis must have married Blanche.

Well so far Henry M Graham divorced Fanny in 1894.

Oops I missed your post. I feel for Florence, he doesn't sound like a nice man.

thanks kate. Off to find Blanche on the 1911. Hopefully she will be easier to spot than Francis has been.

No luck on the 1911.

I'm off to bed. I'll try searching again tomorrow.

Thanks for your help Kate.
