Do you know Helen's maiden name?

Researching:
Myatt, Hanks, Eccleston, Powell, Clungunford, Birmingham

Is it definitely Davis (not Davies)?
And is it definitely Marylin?
Thanks

Added:
There are 4 Marilyn Davis's born in Birmingham in 1947, and 1951
There are several Keith's in the time period mentioned.

If you search here for a marriage between Albert W Davis and Helen between 1930 and 1955, you will find no matches.

Which is why it is difficult to work out who they are.

If Albert never married this lady the children could have been registered in her name only

Have you checked to see if Albert is in any trees on this site that could belong to these children?

Researching:
Nothing much

There are 8 Marylin's born from 1946 to 1953 in the Warwickshire area from a free bmd search

Unfortunately none has the surname Davis, and none appear to be from an unmarried Mother.
Also, none of them also have a child called Keith.

If Marilyn was not born in Birmingham, but anywhere in the country, and if the birth is outside the time frame specified, we are up to around 150 births or more.

Do you know if Marilyn is older than Keith, so we can try and narrow down her birth year, to then try and find a cross-reference for him?
Thanks
