Hi Mary,

I was just wondering if you know the other person who has Shirley on GR.

If you type Shirley's name in the search box and then put in the year she was boen. There is another lady with Shirley's name on GR.

You can put your name on the norcap register:

www.norcap.org.uk

I would also try Friends Reunited and Facebook - if she is wanting to be found she might look on here, and would use her birth name.
