Famous person look up request please help
« on: Tuesday 26 December 17 18:40 GMT (UK) »
Hi i'm trying to work out the connection to my other half's family tree. The lady i'm trying to find out info on is a Elsie Florence Killick stage name Elsie Randolph she was born 9th of December 1904 and died the 15th of October 1982 London. She married a vernon page. That is all I have on her. I'm figuring if I can find out the name of her mother or father I maybe able to find out her connection to the Spencer family tree. My other half's father recalls she may have been a great aunt. Some money was left to him and his father. Any info would be appreciated.
Thank you

Her marriage or preferably birth certificate will give info on her parents.

If she was born 1904 she will be on the 1911 census likely with her parents and possibly siblings.

However I don't see any birth registration for "Killick" in Dec 1904.

There is an Elsie Florence Mar 1902 Lambeth 1d 373  might that be her with age 3 years out?

I can't see an Elsie marriage to Page either.

The Probate Index says she died 15 Oct 1982 in Angmering , West Sussex ( the Probate Registry was London , not the death.

It looks like the Birth and Death info came from Wiki?
