72, Constable Gardens, Edgware, Middsx

[softly softly]

Hi, I'm trying to help someone via the pm system on Rootschat and I'm struggling.

Known info so far.

Frances Downie born 2.4.1897 Liverpool. Found on 1901/11/21 UK census.

She is writing letters from 1935 onwards from that address. In 1939 war register at that address is a Frances Smith with the same dob plus 2 redacted entries beneath-possible 2 Smith/Downie children born 1928 and 1929.

Can anyone help with electoral registers around 1934-38 at that address

Many thanks

SS

I see there is no obvious Downie/Smith marriage.  Buying a copy of one of the birth certs would give Mr Smiths christian name

How about these Carole, 179 million+

Didn’t come up on Ancestry but thanks for the link.  Presume you haven’t found the address?

Was her mmn Myhan.  There is a tree on Ancestry that says Frances married Herbert Hunt.  Mind you - it also shows she was b 22.4.1897 but was baptised 18.4.1897
