Kidman / Bruce Brentford
« on: Saturday 22 September 18 11:12 BST (UK) »
Looking for information on Sylvia Kidman  don't know her date of birth - parents Thomas R Kidman & Dorothy Jane Goddard.

Married in 1938 to Edward O Bruce - Brentford  Have no other information on them except they had four children born in Brentford

Added: 1960 there is a Sylvia Bruce marriage to  Kenneth R Ellis  Chichester - could she have re-married.

The 1939 index shows them in Ealing.
Sylvia b 1916
Sylvia's associated other surname is Ellis

If Sylvia's surname was still BRUCE in 1948 then that would be the surname indexed for the child.  What would you expect it to be?

Edward Osborne Bruce did die in 1945:

The birth certificate info would depend on what the informant (probably Sylvia) stated, so it is entirely possible that Edward is listed as the father.
