Hi heywood
I see now. The death record you found is a lot better than the one I found. Thanks a lot for that.

What 1939 register are you referring to and where can I get access to it?

The 1939 register was taken in September 1939 at the start of WW2. It listed the personal details of every civilian in England and Wales and was used to enable the government to issue identity cards and ration books. The records were used when the NHS was started in 1948 and it was updated as people changed names ie through marriage until 1999. The records for anyone who is 100 years or younger remain closed though, unless you can prove they have died.

I have just discovered that William Campbell Fyfe may have married (for a second time) an Ivy Louise Waters in Cleethorpes in 1946. She was born in 1905 and died in Camberwell, London in Sep 1985 five years after William. I do not know if Waters is her maiden or a married name.

I think I am nearing the end of my quest for information on the above woman and her subsequent family and would like to thank all those at Rootschat who have helped me. It is very satisfying for all of us to have such a successful outcome.

Thanks
