David,

The convention is to add people to your tree under their birth surname, not the surname they became after marriage/adoption.

Just as an update for fellow helpers, I have given David some info to look into. I am sure he will come back if it proves to be a false trail.

David has replied and I've advised him to put some details on here, am also sending him possible siblings names.

I've sent David a message in case he doesn't realise there are replies, and asked him to post a few more details.

There is a death in this name but seems to be a married name, which may eliminate it.

David has her born in 1915 and 1920 but there's no birth that fits. No marriage or death in that name either.

When and where was she born? Is Burchett her maiden name?

Have you looked for a possible birth

Presume you may have been adopted ? If so do you have your adoption file ?

If not adopted can you give some details which would help locate some info on her
