This address was shown on the ship's manifest for the jouney so I think we can rule out that Phyllis from being 'your's'.

There is one closed record on 1939 register for the parents

Harry is with his wife - can’t see George, but he could have enlisted, in which case the closed record is Phyllis

I assume you don’t know what the ‘E’ represents in Phyllis’s name?

It certainly seems that way Greyghost :-D
Maddie's suggestion tends to rule out the Phyllis as the one b Saffron Walden.

It a pity the 1940 marriage image isn't available as details would have ruled it out completely.

Thanks for all the suggestions - back to the drawing board :-0

Another Bristow with a wealth of first names - any relation? Although i think there might be a problem with who he married !!

On 2nd thoughts, the 2nd marriage can't be the same Phyliss E nee Cornell. She was named as widow & administrator on Keith's probate entry in 1959.

Thank Malyon, I was aware of the records posted, with the exception of the potential 2nd marriage.

Might it be best to remove the 1950 birth? Hopefully the person is still living.

could phyllis have married again

Can someone find more details on this marriage please?
I've lost a Phyllis E Cornell & am hoping this one names her father as William James Cornell.
She's too distant to fork out for a certificate.
