WWII Civilian Casualty Katie Knight, Dollis Hill or Kilburn

[Sumar]

How can I find out if one of these addresses was bombed during WWII killing the occupants?
67 Hamilton Rd, Dollis Hill. N.W.10.
15 Carlisle Rd, Kilburn, N.W. 6.

My mother's favourite aunt & uncle were killed when their house was bombed.

I have a photograph/postcard of a house
My grandmother had written on the back on two separate occasions
aunt Kit's house bombed in 1940's',
'Dollis Hill, London Aunt Kit & husband killed'
This appears contradictory as on the front is an embossed photographer's stamp -
Bartholomews, Linford, Bucks.

My mother would have been 7 yrs old in 1940 and 12 yrs old when the war ended.

Aunt Kit was born Katie Philpott 09 Mar 1881 in Welwyn, Hertfordshire.

Katie Philpott and George Albert Knight marriage was registered Oct - Dec
1905  in Hatfield District of Hertfordshire

In March 1939 Katie Knight would have been 58 yrs.
In March 1945 she would have been 64 yrs.

Knight is a common name but Katie, Kate etc are not
George is also common and not knowing his age is a problem I believe he was known as Albert

I searched GRO indexes 1939-1945 mainly for Katie aged 58 - 64 years
The only entries that appear to fit are as follows -

Kate             63 yrs     Croydon, SRY.      (Jul-Sep) 1943     2a 666
George         77 yrs     Croydon, SRY.      (Oct-Dec) 1943    2a 1072

They do not appear to be included in the Commonwealth Civilian Casualties index.
If their house was bombed but they died of their injuries a few days or
weeks later would they still be classed as war civilian casualties?
If they were staying with relatives or friends who were also killed would it
be the owners of the house that were recorded as casualties?

Any help would be much appreciated

hi ... came across your enquiry when researching my son-in-law's great grand parents Frederick Charles Woodward and Minnie Woodward (nee Philpott, born in Welwyn 1879, presumably a sister of your "Aunt Kit")

Fred and Minnie were both killed in an air-raid on 67, Hamilton Road on 28th Sept. 1940 ... both their death certificates show "due to war operations" as the cause of death and both appear in the Civilian War Dead Roll of Honour 1939-1945 in Westminster Abbey

can you fit any of this to your family?

PS have come across a death of Katie Knight Age 62 J/F/M 1944 in North Bucks (Vol. 3A, Page 1926) which would fit with the Bartholomews, Linford, Bucks photo stamp

any help?

PPS in the 1911 census George Albert Knight (Gardener, age 31, born Effingham)), his wife Katie (age 30, born Welwyn) and their 5 month old son Albert William are living at The Lodge, Newport Pagnell suggesting again that North Bucks was their base
