The only way to find out is to buy the certificate as it will have her father’s name on it.

No Laudon births in England and Wales.

But this marriage is confirmed by the fact that she used the surname of Laudon when she married Thomas Henry Parker in 1963.

In fact she was her mother’s beneficiary and was named by her mother as Winifred Yvonne Parker.
____________________

No marriage found between Parker and Sautter but she clearly, from the MI, thought of herself as aligned with Henry Thomas Parker and had taken his surname at least as early as 1965 when her mother wrote her will.

Did she have any children?  It sounds as if her will must be bought to find out.

Her will makes it obvious that she had no children herself.  She stated she had married Henry Thomas Parker, though this could have been in another country.  If he predeceased her she left everything to her stepson, one David Henry Parker, obviously her husband’s son by a former relationship.  So I deduce that she had no children and that she was the last of her line.

Notes for Henry Thomas & Winifred Yvonne (Family)
Yvonne stated clearly in her will signed in 1968 that it was her will and she was “the wife of henry Thomas Parker of Van Ruan Gorran St Austell in the County of Cornwall”.  But no record can be found in Britain and eksewhere of any marriage.
