Both a bit old to be having children in the 1940'/50s ?? Your best bet would to get one of the childrens birth certs/ you can search BMD's free on Ancestry. will mean searching yearly qrt by qtr |

If this is the correct Daphne, her death certificate would give her place of birth and her maiden name. You could then look for her birth certificate. Alternatively, If you have an idea when she married Don, you could look for that marriage entry on the GRO lists on Ancestry, ... ( FREE to search the bmds, just register ) The marriage certificate should show her father's name and occupation. Gwyn |

Dapne W Knowles was born Elham Jul/Aug/Sept 1929 (2a 1947) Mother's maiden name Smith.(I believe Elham is near Canterbury, Kent) |

Zoe, can you confirm whether we've got things right so far - I am on the trail of Daphne's marriage now but I don't want to go on a wild goose chase! |

If Daphne was born in Elham district in 1929, she may be the person on the tree of someone called Carol, if you do a name search on... Search family trees... on the left side of this board. She has a Daphne KNOWLES born in Folkestone. Click on her name to send her a message. Gwyn |

We're spoiling you Zoe, aren't we? Do follow up Gwyneth's advice and contact Carol because your best chance now is to find a GR member with information. |

Tony is def older than my father i`m sure he`s the second child so perhaps i do had it wrong, i wasn`t 100% certain of the dates of Rita, Tony, or pauline. |
