What is your connection to her please?

Could she have been adopted?

She is the daughter of my grandfather's second wife. l don't know about adoption

Apart from her birth do you know anything else about her?

If she married it would be reasonable to start with the assumption she did so between the ages of 18 and 38 (makes an easy search on Ancestry!). She had no middle initial if she is the one born Paddington 1941.

I can see several possibles. Maybe the St. Marylebone one might be worth a look.

Thanks Brummiejan, no she doesn't have a middle name and at the moment l only have access to freebmd so have not found a marriage. what would her married name be if she has married?

If she married in 1975 this could sadly be her death

Sadly this does seem to be her, by the date of birth, it which case she died before her mother. l was really hoping to find a connection
There was obviously only a short period when she might have had children

No children that I can see. her husband looks to be still alive and is in the phone book if you want to contact him
