1John Ralph de Gascoigne Pilkington [3, Marriage, Q3 of 1945, Bideford dist, vol 5B, p. 1263], [3, Birth, Q4 of 1918, Barnstaple dist, vol 5B, p. 603]
Notes for Kathleen Mary Patricia Sampson
Her birth is not found in any record. Possibly she was born abroad after her father’s death in 1922? So I have guessed that she was born c. 1923.
Note that her probable entry in the 1938 register is redacted but it would give her birth date.
________________
However two Pilkington children have been found with a mother’s maiden name of Sampson, both born in Bideford. They must be hers:
Anthony J Pilkington, born Q4 of 1948
‘Female’ Pilkington, born Q3 of 1950.
I strongly suspect the second child died at birth as there is a death entry for Q3 of 1950 for a ‘Female’ Pilkington in Dideford district, Devon.
________________
No death found up to 2005.
But a will has been found for a kathleen Patricia Pilkington who died on 5 April 2011, registry of Ipswich (near which an Anthony J Pilkington had been living).
And, even more likely the will has been found for Kathleen Mary Patricia Pilkington who died on 31 December 2012 and was registered at Ipswich. Definitely her.
