I'm not sure Rose, what the restrictions were then, but I think you could/can register if you were from RoI but considered yourself a permanent resident?

Interesting she shows on the electoral roll because she wouldn't have been able to vote if she were Irish.

It may just be coincidence but in the 1947 electoral roll there is a Fanny Sullivan living next door to an Ethel and George Holland in Harlesden...in the 1948 where Fanny is with the Shepherds there is another Holland couple in the house?

They were there all through the 30s up to 39 ( no electoral rolls for war I assume) trying to find the other's named to ascertain her maiden name.

Kay???? Report 3 Sep 2013 14:11

Nearset I can find,

May I Shepherd,

St Marylebone,

3rd quarter 1969------ age 68,,,,,,,bn 1903,

as its London and so many hospitlas death may not been in the area where she lived,

Mary is often called May.

Edit======******This one isnt right,,******,

Rambling Report 3 Sep 2013 12:38

Patricia, the problem I think, is that we cannot find May's death registration in that name, in the right area.

We need to find that to confirm her date of birth.

It may be that when her death was registered it was either in her full name, that is she may have been known as 'May' but that could have been her middle name. Can you think of any other name she may have had.

If Shepherd was her married name, do you know her husband's first names? or names of children ( if they are stilll living PM them perhaps to Kay?)

Everything you can tell us , no matter how small it may seem will help

:-D

Patchem,

I think in view of where they lived, the Kensington one looks the most likely.

Patricia - can you confirm if this is your May as the surname is spelt with an 'a'.

You are doing very well especially as the computer side is new to you - keep going if you can, if not we can do as Kay???? suggests - no pressure.

Everybody on here is trying to help. We do not think you are not telling the truth, but we have to bring together something you have been living with for some time. You have gone by what you have been told and not necessarily what is the fact of the matter.

Some great help on here. Keep coming back.
