Doris Blanch(e) Windley, where was she 1937,1938, 1940-1944 and 1946-1950

[dutch missmarple]

Hi all,
I'm trying to find out where my Grandmother Doris Blanch(e) Windley (nee Wilson born 1905) lived in 1937 to about 1950

I have found her in the Electoral Registers 1934, 1935, 1936. She was living in Dorking with husband Frederick Jack.

In 1939 she was living in Thurrock Essex (England & Wales Register)


Grandfather Frederick was killed in action 1940 at Dunkirk during operation Dynamo.


So where was Doris living in 1938, 1940 to 1944 ?


In 1945 she lived in Stanford le Hope Essex


Where was she from 1946 to 1950 ?

As you can see, she moved around a lot....


Are there any Electoral Registers for these years ?


thank you for your time.

oh I just rememberred she also lived in Dover for quite some years but I don't know if she moved there before  or after the war.

There wasn't any electoral registers during the war years

Is there a possibility she married Ernest Masters 1962 in Kent,?

are the surnames McKeen and Masters familiar names to you?

Doris Blanche Mckeen born 28/0/1906 born died 1996 Dover, so if this is the case perhaps you should be looking at Kent registers from 1962-1996

Found marriage
Doris B Masters to Edward J W Mckeen 1974 Dover

Hi Louisa,

yes that's her. I know roughly where she was from the 60's and of her mariiages to Masters and McKeen.
I'm interested in the years before 1960.
I didn't know that there were no electoral registers during the war, but that makes sence.
But how about the years before and after the war ?

Registers that are not available to view on line are only searchable by address

hi rosie99

where or how are they searchable by address ?
 I live in the Netherlands so don't know a lot about where to find stuff like this.

The British Library in London can order some in.  Apart from that local record offices.
