Notes for Rosemary Dolores Elsie Evelyn Stopford
Her birth index:

Name:                                        Mother's Maiden Surname:
STOPFORD, ROSEMARY DOLORES ELSIE EVELYN      LAWSON  
GRO Reference: 1926  D Quarter in BRADFIELD  Volume 02C  Page 511
___________________

She cannot be found in the 1939 Register, which is odd as she would have been only 13 at that time, her parents were in England and I would have expected her to be somewhere in England.

On 18th January 1933 she and her parents, but not her brother, were on a boat to Malta, she was 6.

On 24th October 1934 she and her parents and her new young brother Stephen, six months old, were on a boat again to Malta, she was 8.

The last clear record of her with her maiden name was her marriage in 1963.
