Her middle name was Croasdale and there was a Barbara Croasdale who died in 2014. Although her surname was Stratford, her birth is given as 1938.

If the same person, she must have remarried, but I can't find a record under the new surname given in 1939. There was a Barbara Croasdale Parry who married in Chester in 1973.

I have female rellies who married twice and second surname not on the 1939, so don't discount it yet.

It looks as though the new surname was crossed through on 1939 register and Parry reinstated.
