No need to assume - check the records.

She was 87 when she married Carter

I will have to assume she had no children even though she had 3 husbands.
I guess she was a game old bird marrying George Carter I think in her 90's!
Thank you all for your help.

DON'T change the birth year - the census info shows ESTIMATED birth year based on AGE on the day of the census.

Use freebmd or the equally free GRO index for accurate info

In any case, Maddie posted her BIRTH for you

My Mothers cousin Shelia Batrick born 1908, married Henry R Dixon in 1934 in Steyning,( don't know if they divorced or if Henry died) then in 1946 married John D Rennie in Cuckfield. I wondered how I could find out if she had any children who may still be living. I don't know where to look as I don't know their names. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
