Look for her in 'search all member trees'. As it isn't allowed to include anyone without having obtained the person's permission, any entry should be that of someone who has contact with her

On which side of the family was the aunt connected?

EDITED

I see you have added Maureen to your GR tree..........................
How is she related to you?

Maureen K Kelly bn 1946 Islington?

Possibly more likely Maureen Kelly, with no middle names, born Islington in last quarter of 1948.

Was Maureen living with her aunt? Do you know if she was an actual aunt, or just an adult friend who was known as "aunt"?
Most of us of that generation had people like that in our childhoods!
I had an Auntie Margaret, who was no relation, but had been a school friend of my grandmother.

I don't know how the London districts relate to each other -

Is Rugby Street, Holborn, the same as Rugby Street, Islington??

If Cecilia wasn't a "real" aunt -
From at least 1946, until at least 1962, at 11 Rugby Street, Holborn & St Pancras, there's a Kelly family , and also, presumably in a different flat, a Cecilia/Cecelia Barrett.
More Barretts lived at no.9, though not immediately related, as far as I can see.


Not that that helps find where Maureen is now.
Maureen Kelly is a very common name, unfortunately.

ADDED:
In case it turns out to be relevant, in 1971 that Cecilia Barrett married Frederick J
Digance, who is also at 11 Rugby Street in 1960-62 [ ADDED: and earlier years ].
Cecilia was still listed in London in 2004, and Frederick until 2007, although not in Rugby Street.

DIGANCE, FREDERICK JAMES 1917
GRO Reference: DOR Q3/2006 in ISLINGTON (2381C) Reg C44 Entry Number 84

DIGANCE, CECILIA 1923

In 1962 the only remaining Kelly at 11 Rugby Street was Mary Ann Kelly.

This may well be her marriage - also listed as Maureen: <<<<<<

Marriages Dec 1966 (>99%)

JENNINGS BARNEY KELLY ISLINGTON 5C 1341
JENNINGS BARNEY KELLY ISLINGTON 5C 1341
KELLY MARY A JENNINGS ISLINGTON 5C 1341
KELLY MAUREEN JENNINGS ISLINGTON 5C 1341 <<<<<<<

They probably had a son, born in Islington in 1968.
Unfortunately, unless his middle name is written in full, he has a very common name, and I don't see any further definite record of him.

Nor of Barney or Maureen/Mary Ann.

Sent PM to Linda to let her know there are replies here.

EDIT (17:17) :
But now I see that before I sent it, she had already started a new thread about Maureen's marriage .

This is the same family in 1939:

Marriage of parents of Dennis, Richard, and Mary:

Aha! this will be Maureen's aunt Cecilia! she's probably the closed record below Mary 1921.

Births Dec 1923 (>99%)
Kelly Cecilia Hewitt Holborn 1b 860

So she is the Cecilia Barrett mentioned earlier (who later married Frederick Digance) - and a real aunt:

Her first marriage:

Kelly Cecilia Barrett Holborn 1b 1031
