Trying to find out what happened to Betty Robinson in February 2006 she lived on a caravan park in Southsea plot no 31 the caravan park is on Melville Road, Southsea, it is now Southsea Leisure Park she lived we believe with a John Leslie Sydney Skinner who died at the caravan in February 2006, we are trying to find out where she moved to and if she is still alive, have no information about her ie age etc, but John was in his 80's when he died so we are assumming she  would be about the same age or slightly younger, any help would be appreciated.

Wendy has death cert it says Alfred May otherwise Alfred Matthew William May otherwise Matthew William Hedges, not a lot of help.    To get Army records apparently can take upto a year, so we are thinking on having a ride to Halifax they have a museum there and see if we can get any information there, but it won't be for a few weeks, proberly in May.

Well I have good news and bad news, in 1928 when Alfred Matthew etc joined the prison service he signed a declaration stating he was Matthew William Hedges, son of Matthew and Ellen Amelia Hedges formerly Chatterton but he actually signed the declaration A. May which when he was at Dartmoor Prison it gives his name as Alfred May without the other names, I know this as I have visited the prison museum and seen his name in their ledger for staff members, so none of this actually explains how it got from Matthew William, to Alfred Matthew etc, I am hoping my Aunt's birth cert will reveal any more info as she was born abroad, and I am still trying to track down my cousins on the IOW without much luck so far
