If this is her death, why would it be registered as Hardcastle? Surely it would be registered as Cobbold unless she had remarried.

Sorry Shirley, I edited that post as I realised it was the wrong lady but left the post for elimination purposes. Perhaps I should delete it as those named in it will still be living :-)

Looks like Marshall Cobbold Lees ( not sure why his record on the 1939 register is open). He married in Wandsworth in 1964 so maybe his uncle Charles and Helen attended are in some of the photographs?

Surely she would have been a bit old to have children post 1960 if she was born in 1914

Not unknown to have children from mid forties but unlikely

Was hardcastle her maiden name

Check on Freebmd for any possibles

I'm looking to know whether Helen Hardcastle had kids in her marriage in 1960 with

Charles Albert Cobbold
1902 - 1981

Helen has two daughters prior to this marriage and will like to track any kids she has had with charles.
The daughters are very eager to see a pic of their mother where they dont ever remember how she looks, All they can remember is her red hair.
Help will be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
