Also, this is the phone listing that doesn't make sense. The tenant said that Betty Matthews always lived alone and never had any family visit that she was ever aware of so who was the EB listed at Betty's address? British Phone Books 1880-1984 Release 1 & 2 about E B Matthews Name: E B Matthews Address: 34 Myrtleslde Clo Exchange: Northwd City/Town: Northwood Directory Title: Outer London: West Middlesex Publication Year: 1980 Directory County: Middlesex Page Number: 519 Deb:)

Hi all. I'm trying to find Eleanor Betty Matthews nee Hyland. She was born in Coventry in 1915 and married Sidney Matthews in Coventry in 1948. She had no children. I found her on an old electrol roll listing in Coventry and at a later date in old phone listings in Northwood. The listing was for EB Matthews and when I contacted the address, the tenant informed me that 'Betty' Matthews used to live there but died 9 years ago. I traced the death ref and it turned out to be a Betty Joan Matthews. The trail has gone cold and I'm wondering if anyone can help me to find EB. There's no sign of her anywhere. Deb:)
