There's an Agnes Foley at 86 Marlborough Hill, Harrow, on the 1939 electoral register. Not listed the previous year. Is with Jessie Louisa McMeekin (I think nee Jones, widow of Malcolm)
I can't find the address - or Jessie - in the 1939 Register.

It is Empty there were quite a few in that 'street'.    Still looking for Jessie

Well done, Rosie, vacant, nearer the end of the book.
So the Agnes there on the electoral register could be the Agnes in the High Street in the National Register! Jessie might be anywhere.

We did find that Agnes Foley at Marlborough Hill and I thoughts were perhaps she went there after leaving Newquay Crescent. But with the onset of war it's been difficult to find out where she might have gone after that. So yes it could well be her in the High Street. But theres nothing concrete to suggest that.

Agnes born 1905 at 198 High Street, Harrow (1939 Register, free index). I haven't been able to find that address in the electoral registers for 1938, 1939! Seems to have changed polling districts, and ancestry have chopped Harrow up into little bits. Has it been found by anyone? Rosie?

In 1938 High Street goes up to no 188 then it changes to Locket Road. (Harrow South West)

The Winfields who were at 196 have moved elsewhere by 1939 ER

You convinced me it must be there somewhere, Rosie!
1939, 198 High Street is in polling district MH, in Harrow South West

A lot of the names haven't been indexed on ancestry. Looking for Kathleen Daw in Harrow will find the relevant image.
Albert William Wallis and Winifred Helen Wallis at 198. No Agnes.

She's there in the National Register.
It is possible that the three sightings in 1938/9 of Agnes Foley in Harrow are all of the same person. I don't know whether they are, just saying it's possible.

I think that I would be buying that marriage certificate in the hope there was a clue

I helped with this query when it was first on the Harrow Facebook page.

I was born and grew up just off Locket Road Wealdstone!
