Thank you for that, brummiejan,

It's worth getting as I'm at the proverbial brick wall again.
Doh!!! why didn't I think of that :-D :-)

Have you considered getting the cert to see who registered the death?
The place of birthand maiden name should be shown if the informant knew them.

Yes it is very difficult if you do not have her maiden name. I will have another look for you . Good luck in your search.

Thanks Sylvia.

I've been told she was of Indian origin, but I have no idea of her maiden name.
I had actually found this record, but then wondered why she would come to England if her family were all in India.
I really am grateful for anything searches turn up.
I've tried looking at Indian military births but the records are very hit and miss.

Hi all,
I've been trying in vain for some time now to find child/children of Genevieve Theresa Stephenson (could be Stevenson).
All I know is she was born in India around 1918/1920. The name is her married name, her husband was a British Serviceman; but she could have been divorced/widowed.
She had a child in 1946/7.

I have no more details so any help will be greatly appreciated - I know it's a bit of a non starter, but every little helps. ;-)
