Thanks Tania,
Yes this is Daphne's parents.
I think I will have to get the marriage Cert to find their brothers and sisters.
But it is more important to know if Daphne had brothers and sisters or married and had more children as this is the information my Auntie needs.
She has left it quite late in life to find out but I am trying to do my best to get the information she wants.

If anyone can help me find a Marriage/Death or if Daphne had further children I would be so greatful because as I said My Auntie is coming over in May this year and it would be fantastic to give her some further information.

So here's hoping

Thanks to everyone again

The only way to find a marriage for her is to systematically go through the GRO marriage index quarter by quarter. You can take out a 2 week free trial with Ancestry and do it on there. Of course, there may be more than one Daphne L Smith- the index is unlikely to give her middle name in full.

I have posted a Message asking for a Braintree Library look up to see if there is any kind person in that area who could help me find Brothers and Sisters of Daphne, any other Children of Daphne and if she married.

Hopefully this may shed some light on things

No luck finding someone to do a Braintree Look up for me as I live in Cornwall.
But I will keep searching for brothers and sisters of Daphne or her marriaige or death

Well still no luck in tracing Daphne Lester Smith born 1925 either marriage or death.

My Auntie is coming over in May from Australia and I was hoping to be able to give her some positive news on something about her Birth Mother but I have drawn a blank where ever I look.
It is so much easier going backwards in time than forwards to the present.

Thank you to everyone who has helped in any way

Have you gone through the marriage index quarter by quarter? - it really is the only way.

Have you tried using 'Ancestry ' at your local library FREE for half hour each day ? There are a lot of new records and it is slightly different to the one you get at home. Janet

If you look on FREE BMD there is a Daphne L Smith married 1948 to a Mr Langley in the Poole Registration District. Lots of other Daphne Smiths also. Janet
