Is this his birth?

FERNANDES, FRANCIS  GEORGE       mmn Kirkland
GRO Reference: 1926  D Quarter in WEST DERBY  Volume 08B  Page 1083

SS

added, if that is his birth then his parents Annie Kirkland & Peter Fernandes did not marry until 1947. Annie 1st marries Archibald Lythgoe in 1919.

Working forward from 2003 on GRO, this looks like the only possibility for Vera/Veronica's death:

Name:   Year of Birth: 
   FERNANDES, VERONICA  MARIA     1929 
GRO Reference:  DOR  Q1/2012 in DARLINGTON  (436-1A)  Entry Number 506282863

in which case Billiongraves' transcription is incorrect, but their image quality is sometimes poor (not a problem unique to any one grave listing site -- some people snap away furiously to get as many graves entered as possible).
Researching Penge, Anerley, (including the Crystal Palace) and neighbouring parts of Beckenham, currently in London (Bromley), formerly Surrey and/or Kent.
