are you sure of the date? i can see Donald and his parents marriage on Freebmd, but not a Margaret Mitchell in Devonport for 1936?

Was Mitchell the name under which her birth was registered?

Which parent did she share with Donald?

There are two Donald Hamley births on freebmd.....which one is your grandfather's?

She must have shared a Mother to have different surnames - but I was assuming they married each time?
