I am trying to find Florence Shenton or possibly May Shenton in the 1939 register.
They are children of Walter William Shenton born 1895 and Lily Pimlott born 1897.
I have Walter, Lily and their son Harold listed in the register with 1 person redacted that could be either Florence born 1924 in Chorlton or her sister May born 1925 in Manchester South. I don't know why the redaction since both girls are long passed away.
Both ladies married after the war.
Can i have some assistance please, no luck so far.
Thank you
Rob in Oz

Search under their married surnames. Did they die on the UK?
-
Pauline,
Florence died in the UK. Gravestone found.
May had children in 1947 and 1955 so i assume she died in the UK.
Their respect husbands are listed in the register - as single men.
-
Look for May under her married name of Staniforth, she is wrongly listed as Stenton.
She is living in Bakewell.

Carol, thank you very much.
Always tricky trying different search criteria

I do apologise.
I have subscriptions for Ancestry and FindMyPast but I couldn’t find the people mentioned.
I was only after the relevant search criteria.
It turns out Ancestry had her listed as a first name only, no last name.
