Madge was born on the 21st January 1924 at Scarborough,
the third child of William and Dorothy Cowton.

She left school just before her 14th birthday and worked in catering until she was married at Scarborough Register Office on the
7th November 1942, to Edwin Londesborough Atkinson,
a farm labourer, born at Ayton c.1914.
They went to live in a tied farm cottage at Wrench Green,
Hackness where Ted worked on the farm.
Sadly, within a year they had parted.
The marriage actually ended in divorce in September 1973 when Ted wished to re-marry.

In 1943, Madge went to work at Ivy House Café on Scarborough seafront
and then at Pulsford’s Fancy Goods and Sweet Shop nearby.
The proprietor, William Norman Pulsford, (born in Hull 1914),
subsequently became her partner and they were together for 33 years
until Norman died on the 4th December 1976 at Scarborough. 
Although they never married, Madge changed her name by deed poll  to Pulsford.
Madge was the proprietor of a sweet shop in Alma Parade at Scarborough from 1944
(well visited by family!!) until she retired in 1981
and moved to a bungalow in Crossgates, Seamer where she still lives today.
