What a star Annette! Well found. How useful are middle initials!

Depends if the daughters name started with a D?

I have no idea if there are 2 daughters from separate marriages!

It does - but the rest of the letters don't fit with the name you have been given

Not sure if this helps at all but a FindMyPast search of Bentley births with the mother's maiden name as W* between 1950 and 1960 shows two girls - one in 1951 and the other in 1955. The second one is a GRO Army Birth record.

What is an FindMyPast search? Sorry for my ignorance.

Also how do i get information on an GRO Army birth? Grandad was in the RAF though not the army.

What is an FindMyPast search

www.FindMyPast.co.uk  - it is a subscription site and does not allow info from its site to be posted.  You can also buy credits rather than an annual sub

Have you checked the marriage found in 1943 also in Southport?

Have you then checked freebmd for Bentley births with that mothers maiden name?

The 1943 marriage can be found on www.lancashirebmd.org.uk and was at St Philip & St Paul in Southport

The 1950 marriage can also be found on the same site but was a registry office wedding

Hi sonstar:

FindMyPast is findmypast - an online genealogy service. You used to be able to search the indexes for free but not sure if that is still the case.

I don't know how you would get information on an army birth.

When I look again at the registration I see after Mothers' name it states - Not available before 1966. So the mother's name for that 1955 birth was not used as part of the search - making it unlikely that the entry is the one you are after.

**added** Read CarolW's post as I was doing this one but thought I'd post mine as well.

You can get the certificate from the GRO in the same way as normal but have to tick the box 'overseas event' then give the reference.

The daughter born 1944 to the 1943 marriage may have married in Wales in 1965

I would suggest discussing all the info found with your grandmother in case any parts of it are familiar to her.

If she was with George from the 1960's - she may have met his daughters at some time
