Notes for Rita Sylvia Berens
Her birth index:
Rita S Berens, Q4 of 1913, Mother=Blackwood, Bromley dist, vol 2A, p. 1059
______________________
There is a card index note of her marriage in India. Now to see if they came back and/or had any children. One birth found:
‘David S Boyle, b. Q2 of 1942 in Kingsclere dist, vol 2C, p. 571’
I think this needs a birth certificate to see who his parents were. Ordered on 5 May 2021.
It came back with an affirmative that he was the son of Rita and Patrick.
______________________
Not in 1939 Register, probably because she was in India by then.

It sounds as if her son David had two families, one that produced Robert and a second family that produced the much younger Fenella and Jamie. This may lead to identifying their mothers and the marriages of David Spencer.
