looking for Constance Tillyard, Cardiff 1930s

[Nick B]

Hi, I'm looking for Constance Tillyard, born in Cambridge 1924, but possibly at school and living in or around Cardiff as a teenager? Any help welcome, Thanks!

Have you tried the 1939 register.  Did she marry, if so what was her married surname

[Nick B]

Thanks, actually I made a mistake in my post: she married in Cambridge in 1950, rather than being born there. I can't find any birth record and would like to know who her parents were. She had an aunt in Cambridge who have two brothers, but I can't link them to her or work out the family connection.

marriage notice from 1950 gives her parents as Prof. and Mrs H J W Tillyard of Cambridge, she is Constance Emma.

Thank you Osprey! I am still puzzled about the lack of a birth record, but the full marriage record establishes her parents and that Aelfrida Tillyard was indeed her aunt. I wonder if she was born outside the UK? I know she had some sort of connection to Germany. I don't have any subscriptions at present, but the 1939 Register should confirm her place of birth.

Thanks Amondg - Constance L was a different person.
