To Patchem
Thank you for information it does seem to match up.
I know you can not always be sure dates are correct on different sites but it does give you something to work on.
Thank you
Sheila

This looks like Gertrude, you can check out births on free bmd as mentioned above as you thought 1908?
Births Dec 1907
AGGETT Gertrude Mary St Thomas 5b 44
Phyllis?
Births Mar 1913
Aggett Phyllis Dyer Newton A. 5b 154

Phyllis appears to marry as Phyllis E:

Though husband's name not showing on free bmd.

Keith's name appears to be David K Burden, so he could be under either name. He appears in Ancestry in 1943. He is not showing in free bmd, but other searches can be carried out:
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
He seems to marry in 1970, will pm that.
He and his wife show in 192.com in Exeter in 2002, so search under her name there:
http://www.192.com/atoz/people/burden/jeanette/

Added:
Sorry, just found this, so you can contact undertakers:
BURDEN Jeanette On 31st October 2011, peacefully in hospital, aged 60 years. Beloved wife of Keith. Will be sadly missed by family and friends. Funeral Service Thursday 10th November Exeter Crematorium 2.45pm St Peters Chapel. No flowers please, donations if desired for Exeter Hospice by retiring collection or c/o M. Sillifant & Sons, 19-20 Holloway Street, Exeter. EX2 4JD Tel:- 01392 272688

I might have made a mistake in births and marriages, but this does look a likely match.
If he is the correct Keith and you make contact he might have further information on the rest of the families?

I am not sure if you mean that Keith Burden is married to Margaret or Maureen, or that they all lived together in Exeter.
Similarly, is Susan married to John with daughter Valerie?
What sort of ages are these people, and when were you last in contact with them?
Thank-you.
