Harry and Sybil/Sybilla senior were together in Carshalton 1935-9 - already posted.

Here in 1932 - and also in 1931:

Harry's there on his own (at least with no other Garbetts) in 1925:

Name: Harry Garbett
Year: 1925
County or Borough: Islington
Ward or Division/Constituency: Islington
Street address: 61 OXFORD ROAD-conid


Can't find any clues as to who Sybil(la) was - supposedly born Spenser, 25 May 1899.

No birth of a Sybil* Spenser in 1899. No sign of one in 1901 or 1911.
There are a few Sibyl Spencers born around the right time, but not exactly.

Thank you for your kind help
I will try and find more family details and get back.
Regards Ian

do you have a rough birth year? Might place where and when she died.
There won't be passenger records, but you might be able to check electoral rolls if it can be found where she lived/died.

Hi Rambling
Not sure where she lived died the family believe she arrived in the UK in the 1980s from Australia.

No records for that time period, when and where did she die?

Are there records kept for arrivals from Australia to the UK 1980s onwards
Looking for Sybil Ethel Guthrie (diseased)
