_____________________

Only her first born from BP, can be found in the Birth indices of the General Record Office.  There is no document I can find that records the birth of her daughter Clare Teresa.  Might she have been adopted?

If she married, then her father is listed in that certificate.  Her marriage is recorded on the GRO indices, so I could order that.

She might be included in the wills of her parents, though only her father is known to have died so far, and he left a will so I have ordered it.

Finally in 2061/2 we should be able to see the 1961 census in which she would have been three years old.
