Find Ancestors

Please can someone tell me who Sheila Nevard parents were. London area,

I know she went on to marry Eric S Dornan but I am struggling to work out her parents.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Kind regards,

Wendy

When? If you ask for help, dates are VITAL. These names are uncommon, but most aren't

Her father will be named on the marriage certificate - as you are confident the marriage is the right woman, it would be by far the most useful document -especially as it would also tell you her age in 1944

Have you looked for her birth registration?

Please delete the two duplicates of this request. thank you

OK..................is this her?

Birth below from the GRO site, but you could have found it yourself on freebmd

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Make a note and learn how to use it - really very simple. Honestly

Adrian C G Nevard 30 Dec 1930 Male At School Single 216 4

Records suggest that her marriage to Dornan didn't last very long.............she was alone on the ER in 1956 and he had probably re-married in 1955.

The birth certificate will confirm if the 1939 register and the suggested marriage are correct.

Sheila and Eric divorced in April 1955, per newspaper report.
They had three children - 1945, 1948, 1949.

Deaths:

DORNAN, ERIC STANLEY 1925

???
DORNAN, SHEILA JOAN 1924
GRO Reference: DOR Q3/2008 in GREENWICH (2291B) Reg 1B003 Entry Number 501199983

That death has led me to the correct records…………nice one AG

Her birth is Revard/Wheeler on freebmd

1939 on FMP is transcribed as McWard. (Corrections submitted)

Can’t C&P just now……..no doubt someone who can will do so.

Ignore my previous suggestions about 1939 and BMD.

Thank you Erika you have been most helpful.

Sorry I didn’t provide dates.

Kind regards,

Wendy
