PHYLLIS N BEAN

June Report 22 Sep 2014 11:47

I am looking for further help in finding either marriage or death of a Phyllis Nora Bean.
She returned from South Africa in 1954 and was pregnant at the time. I think she went to stay at a place in Belvedere, Kent. Somehow I have found 2 births around that time.....a Miriam T Bean and a Sarojini Bean......I can't remember how I found them !! Sarojini isn't way out as she had been married to a black man in SA but divorced and came back to UK. I can't seem to find a death for her so perhaps she married again?? The family think she committed suicide but no idea when.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, June

Although both the births are in the same year they are in different registration districts

When was Phyllis born please?
If Bean was her maiden name, what was her (1st) marriage surname?
She, and the birth of her child, may have been registered under that one.

That address was that of her Aunt. Gertrude was the sister of Florence, who was the mother to Phyllis.
Thanks for all those who have answered...just have to keep searching for her death cert.

If she was born c.1928, chances are that she's still alive.
She'll only be 86.
