Note on her name and birth:
both her baptism and the 1939 Register include that her full forenames were Ann(i)e Kathleen Pearl.
Her marriage record gives only ‘Kathleen P’. Her husband’s forenames had only ‘Gerald C’ instead of “Gerald Louis Charles’, so I am cosidering both their marriage forenames to be inaccurate, though may have reflected how they liked to be known.
That was a good choice: her death information includes that her birth was on 12 Nov 1889!
At baptism, her parents said she was born on 12 Nov 1889, but in 1939 she and/or her husband gave 19 Nov 1889. I am choosing 12 Nov as her more credible birth date.
