Notes for Anne Margaret Clementi Smith
Her birth index:

Name:                                Mother's Maiden Surname:
SMITH, ANNE MARGARET CLEMENTI        CLARK JERVAISE  
GRO Reference: 1910  M Quarter in CATHERINGTON  Volume 02C  Page 151
_________________________

It looks like she married Edward J Murphy in 1949 but this needs some confirmation.  Probably she will get a mention in her father’s will of 1958 which is after this marriage.

Watch this space.
_________________________

In fact she was to be found in the 1939 register, with her father and with both surnames transcribed as ‘Celementi-Smith’ which accounted for the fact that I could not find Hubert, her dad.  (Why I managed to find Anne is another matter.)  This, of course gave both their birth dates.  Further it shows that she later changed her surname to Murphy.  I have reported the error in their surnames to FindMyPast. There were at 806 Keyes House, City Of Westminster, London:

First name(s)  Last name(s)  Birth date  Sex  Occupation  Marital status  Schedule  Schedule sub number
Hubert      Celemnti-Smith  12 Aug 1878  M  Brigadier Regular Army Officer (ret)  W  240  1
Anne M (C)  Celemnti-Smith  16 Dec 1909  F  Unpaid Domestic Duties                S  240  2
Mollie E    Carroll (Tule)  05 Oct 1911  F  Secretary                             S  240  3
