baby girl born 28 Dec 1940 in Dagenham
« on: Sunday 02 June 19 14:45 BST (UK) »
Hi

Living in Dublin, I'm not familiar with what sources are available online, but have an urgent request on behalf of a friend..... can anyone help.

What would be the fastest route to finding out what became of a baby girl born 28 Dec 1940 in Dagenham?  The girl was born to a married parents who reared her, but are both now dead.  Apparently a marriage record hasn't been found.

I'm aware we are not allowed post names of living people, so I've not mentioned any identifying names on purpose.

Can anyone assist. 

Thanks in advance

Presumably you mean no marriage record for the person born in 1940?

Hi

Thanks for responding and yes, apparently no marriage record found for the daugnter, but she was named as the informant when her Mother died and she was still single then....

I reckon this 'missing' lady would be 78 years old.

Kind regards

If you are assuming that she is still alive and has not changed her name then you could try the electoral rolls on https://www.192.com/.

You need to start from the last verified date and place you have for the missing lady.
I am assuming that is the date on her mother’s death cert, her address would also be written on the cert. If she was still living with her mother at the time she may have moved on. Did her father pass away before the mother?

Ancestry also have old telephone directories.
