Note wrongly transcribed as Lilian L - correction submitted

So Margaret is an open record so this implies she has passed away
Note the two surnames. So she remarried

Edit there is one closed record which would be sister Betty L

I am trying to find any relatives of Margaret Joan Dray who live in Walsingham as l new Addington in 1956. I believe that in 1960 she married Malcom Young and went on to have 2 daughters born in 1962 and 1964. If anyone has any information I would be truly grateful.
Thank you <3
