Hi Lindsey

Thank you for the information you've provided. I was blown away by the speed with which you came back to me.

How did you manage to provide so much information in such a short space of time? I have been trying for months....with very limited success.

The reason for my search is that I am Diana and Len's daughter and have had no contact with Diana since 1953, when I'm told she left dad and me to go to Australia (hearsay). So the location of her death came as a complete surprise.

I will follow up on your leads.

Thank you so much for your invaluable information.

Regards
Melanie

Just bacic ancestry, nothing special. I think the death is her but I could be wrong There is no death for her first husband, but possibly he was in the forces and died abroard, anyway thats my best guess, hope it helps
