The 1939 has Harry Fairest 1877 at 30 Beeley Road Worrall with Kenneth Fairest plus 2 others and 1 closed. Could anyone assist with full details of open individuals. Thank you.
Kenneth Fairest Male 12 Jan 15 Single Asst. charge hand rolling mill
Ethel Fairest / SHELDON / FEARN Female 23 Jan 12 Single Unpaid domestic duties
For Ethel, Sheldon is written above Fairest in blue then scored out in green with Fearn written in the left margin.
There's some enigmatic annotations in the left margin by Ethel: 26.1.46 IC KSY M in blue and 26.11.74 CR283 SHE in green.
Incidentally, have you seen the article in the Telegraph where Harry (of Woodland View, Beeley Road, Oughtibridge) did what he could to help Georgina May (24/8 Allen St.)?
He saw her fall backwards off a wall she was sitting on, ran there and found that she had nasty injuries to her spine, so he got an ambulance and she was taken away to the Royal Infirmary. (“FATAL FALL FROM A WALL” -Sheffield Daily Telegraph - Saturday 17 September 1927).
CR283 is a form for change of name or birthdate. The SHE should be the 3 letter code for the place where the name change happened. From the official list of place-name codes there is none in England and Wales beginning with S.
I wonder if the SHE is a place in Scotland, which would also explain why we cannot find the marriage in England and Wales.

I can now confirm that SHE is definitely the area code for a place in Scotland. ALL codes beginning S were in Scotland So the Fearn marriage was in Scotland, and as Sue pointed out, most probably 26.11 1974

Ethel married George Sheldon in 1945 do we know when George died? I have been tryig to see if I can find anything on the Scotland site but as yet know luck.
I think I am having a senior moment what was the name of Ethel's second husband or could there even be a third marriage involved?
