In 1939, there is a Catherine E Short ( born 1927) who lives at 104 Ballspond road, Islington. Name corrected to Short, originally ditto marks Bixby.

Do you know who she was living with?  Maybe the family moved between the 1939 register and setting up the treasure hunt and letters.

Ah, I didn't realise that the name was corrected due to marriage... thought it was a simple solution!!
