Doris May Townsend was born in Birmingham on either 16 or 17 December 1917 (scant records differ) to Charles Townsend and Edith May Wheeldon but was not living with her parents by the time of the 1921 census and little or nothing appears in srubsequent records until a possible death in Sandwell in February 2024 in February 2024. though if thatt is true she would have been 107.
Please can anyone help to fill in the gaps?

The death record suggests she died in 2004 not 2024 - birth is stated 16 Feb 1917
-
I think this is a different person perhaps
Doris May, the daughter of Charles and Edith May was supposedly born 18 Sep 1917, according to baptism in Nechells, an area of Birmingham.

Thanks to all for very much appreciated help. The total lack of later references to Dora strongly suggests that she was the subject of the 1918 death cert. particuls
arly given the hig rat of infant deaths at at that period.
Thanks again,
Keith

To anyone who is still interested Doris May was definitely the subject of the 1918 death cert which states both of her parents' name, together with the family address, which matches that at th time of her birth.her birth.
Thanks to a ll for your very valuable assistance.
