There is a birth recorded 1st quarter 1940 in Sutton - is this her?
Assuming this is her maiden name, there is a possible marriage in Birmingham - are you aware of this?

Thank you Jan I have her birth cert .Yes I do know she married Gerald William Taylor , but i believe she is now using her maiden name.

Would like to find her current location ,which I think is still Tamworth.

Well, you could try 192.com as the name is pretty unusual.
There is a P.A. Funnell on 192.com, living in Leicester though! But as it is free you might as well give it a go.
ADDED and an A. Funnell Tamworth also.

By the way, the marriage I found is not to Gerald Taylor. The Patricia Funnell Gerald married does not appear to have a middle name.
Do you know for a fact she married this person?

Well, as long as you are sure the details are right for her father. I wonder why no middle initial is shown on the indexes.
The marriage I found is in Birmingham 1959. But if you think she is using her maiden name I suppose that is what you need to pursue.
Good luck!

Hang on! How old was she on the cert? The marriage you have took place 1955, do she couldn't have been above 16 if your Patricia.

That is correct she was 16, with right father.
