Belle, I can't see a death for her in Victoria to 1985. Do you have her parents' names, in case she remarried? I searched just using given names and there's quite a few entries.

Bauer (London, France), Blades, Parker (Surrey)

Had a search here hoping to perhaps find a ?marriage
http://indiafamily.bl.uk/UI/Home.aspx     as there doesn't appear to be a marriage in Victoria.

Do you have Beatrix Victoria's maiden name and have you any other information about her?

Thank you all,
I did ask for info on her last year, so putting the link on regarding her back ground, save people going over old ground, as the Electoral Roll is the only break through to date. I do know she was still alive in the early 50s, but i think her husband had died by the late 40s,have looked for a marriage in UK but found none. Thanks again Belle.

You don't seem the think that the death I found on reply#5 could possibly be her husband? 

I think I would be purchasing and downloading the image to find out.
