• Relationship	with Arthur Thomas Chamberlain
  Born	19 Sep 1923	Cornwood, Devon, England, UK   [1]
  Occupation	Cook  [1]
  	1: Marion worked as a Cook in the Manamead area of Plymouth before her first marriage, (where her Aunt, Kate Amelia and Uncle, Richard Bettinson were witnesses). 2: In the late 1960's Marion trained to be a Cook/Supervisor for Cornwood Primary School. She worked at this job for many years, and was loved by all the children of the village as she would spoil them with her cooking skills. For this she is known throughout the village still as 'Auntie Marion' to a whole generation of people. 3: Marion also worked for many years working for Mrs. Parker at Delamore House, Cornwood, and for Mr. and Mrs. Steve Mudge of Glebe House, Cornwood and then his daughter Mrs. Barbara Thomas. This was history repeating itself as her Grandfather Henry had been a Coachman working at the same house many years previously.
