Default Marriage of Robert Granville Sharp?

Robert Granville Sharp died in 1947.
He was born and baptised in 1883 in St Pancras, Middlesex.
He is on the census in 1911 with his mother and family.

His probate details are on Ancestry:

Name: Robert Granville Sharp
Probate Date: 22 May 1947
Death Date: 23 Jan 1947
Death Place: Reading
Registry: Oxfordshire, England

His probate names his widow as Helen Graham Sharp.
I haven't been able to find their marriage, some time between 1911 and 1947.

Helen Graham looks Scottish to me. Had a play with Scotland's People looking for marriages between men named Robert Sharp and women named Helen between 1911 and 1947 and got three hits.

The marriage is in Scotland in 1926 - found it on Scotland's People (searching for male surname Sharp, male forename starting with Robert Granvill, female forename starting with Helen Graham).

I played Hangman (as it were) for a bit and found out her surname was Ross.

That's a good tip.

Thanks, Shona and Kate. Yes, the name sounds decidedly Scottish. Now I might be able to see if they had any children.

I tried searching and each time I got different results! The search engine didn't like variants of Granville.
