There is the death of a Hilda Lizzie Harvey in 1985, and her birth date is given as 14th April 1903.

I see that 'your' Hilda was born in the 2nd quarter of 1903, so this would fit.

There is a tree on Ancestry which gives her date of birth as 14th April 1903  :)

There is a newspaper article Whitstable times & herne bay herald
That says Emma Whiddett died on the 15th April 1903 at 4 Norfolk St. Whitstable aged 38

This would tie in with Hilda Harvey.

Having a quick look at the biological father John Whiddett on the 1911 census, he lists as having 13 children & 1 died. He must of been devastated at his wife's death.

Thank you so much everybody, ie JenB, Priscilla, Alders and lizdb, your speedy responses to my first ever post were incredible. Hilda Lizzie WHIDDETT's dob was 14th April 1903, so it does seem pretty certain she adopted the surname of her uncle and aunt (ie Dadd), and that she married George HARVEY in 1946, and died in 1985.
I'm so sad that my dear old gran (who died in 1976), didn't know. She could have met her had this information been available back then. Aged just 14yrs when her mother died, my gran brought up 8 of her younger siblings, only to then see three brothers, a sister and a brother-in-law killed in WW1.
Marrying so late, I doubt if Hilda had any children? Do any of you know where she was married and where Hilda Lizzie Harvey died please?
