Did anyone know Arthur Dews from Chickenley Dewsbury. His wife (partner) was called Ivy until she passed away, he then had a friend called Daisy.
I believe Arthur & Ivy were foster parents and fostered my when I was small.

Thank you for the registration details - it's a massive help.
This appears to be who I am trying to find relatives past acquaintances off.
The death registration date ties in with what I remember. I was only11 at the time when she passed away. :-(
