Trying to find our cousin Shirley (born Ellis). Do not know her married name.

Think she was born 1939. Parents were Edith Maud Brown and James Ellis.

For the record, would she have been born in Brighton reg?

There is a 1939 4Q reg birth for Shirley L Ellis mmn Brown.

The alternative with mmn Brown is in Wakefield reg in 1935.

Do you have info that she married?

You could use freebmd to find accurate info about her birth

Isn't 1960 a bit recent ?

EDIT - further marriage in 1980 under 1st married name removed and sent by PM

This could be a co-incidence or a daughter, although there are 2 children for Bezodis/Ellis neither called Shirley

There is a current entry for Shirley L Breeze on 192.co, a pay to view site.

Yer pays yer money and takes yer choice - personally, I'd want to buy the MC's just to make sure that it isn't a massive co-incidence

I meant for posting on here.................

And 1988 certainly is much too recent for here

You may be right - if you'd like to PM me suggestions how to post an editted version, I'm happy to oblige. :-) OR re-post yourself, and I'll edit/delete off.
