Thanks for the correction. I'll update the family entries to take Addis out from the surname.

Any clues on how to find the marriage?

Maybe the local newspapers, if we think they were married here? I searched the online newspapers for roberston wedding but didn't get any matches for this couple.

The Windsor Slough and Eton Express for December 23rd, 1937 (p. 10) reports that Constance Robertson, founder and presumably headmistress of Upton preparatory school in King's Road, Windsor has got engaged to T. A. Martin, a Captain in the Hong Kong Volunteers (and nephew of Sir Charles Addis). The wedding was expected to take place in the Cathedral, perhaps in the autumn following.
