Thankyou so much Erika and Shirley,yes this is her. Was hoping she would be in a later Electrol roll so unsure if still maybe living at the address listed for her. Someone in Holland is enquiring about the family, he has adopted the grave of her brother which I see he is listed on the 1939 census, William Parker b 2nd Aug 1921 , killed 1945 and he wanted to let the family know he oversees his grave.

Check on Zoopla whether the address has been sold.

Send a letter to the address with SAE for reply

I can't see the record for William at the same address currently

The 2003 address has never been sold, according to Zoopla.

Like ErikaH, I can't see an ER entry for William in Gravesend after 2003.

2003 ER on Ancestry indicates he was born 1930-32.

Possible death ??? : - but it's not an uncommon name - - -

BURKE, WILLIAM 1932

Their son appears to be on the ER more recently

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 13 Aug 2022 13:46

Son in Gravesend area to 2006.
Probable married daughter in Gravesend to 2005.

EDIT:
Unfortunately, neither of them is at those addresses any longer, as the son's address was sold in 2006 and the daughter's in 2005.

They must have opted out of the public ER when they moved.

Thankyou for your lookups. I will look at Zoopla and try to find the Burke’s , son or daughter.

Zoopla is a property site. You need to look for them on freebmd then on the ER!

Unfortunately, the son and daughter are not on the ER after they moved house in 2006 and 2005 respectively.
