Who was the informanton the death cert?

Margaret's birth reg should be in the 2nd qtr of 1934 but there is only one Margaret Bowman coming up freebmd and that is in the 1st quarter.

Bear in mind that her mother could have been married before so her name in the marriage to George and her name in the birth index would be different (ie her first married name would be in the marriage index and her MN in the birth index.

Kathleen is, of course, originally an Irish name........perhaps the marriage ( and Margaret's birth) were in Ireland..........

Look for the daughter's birth on freebmd as a first step............

Have you tried to find a marriage for the parents?

Margaret's birthplace should be recorded on her death cert
