I found Ernestine aged 32 returning to UK on 14 Feb 1947 with David aged 7. So I am pleased I now know I am looking for a David O'Gorman born 1939/1940 in India.

Thanks for Marie's baptism - I didnt have that. I only found the deaths yesterday so dont as yet know who registered them, I assume Leonard would have registered Marie's. I have found the address they lived at in Warminster.
