Welcome to the boards, Jean.

When did you last have contact with her, and was she with a husband also?

Thank-you.

I was assuming that she is the sister of Nigel G Preece, but I cannot see a birth for him in Wimbledon, 1943.
Have you got a birth year for her?
Thank-you

Added:
You have her born 1942, but no birth place, is that just a guess?
Thanks

There is no birth in 1942 showing on ancestry or free bmd, there is one in 1941 Surrey North Eastern, no middle initial.

And Nigel is down as Higel, in 1943, also no middle initial, with probably same parents.

Diane Preece, 1941, is in someone's tree on here. (Looks to be a relative, son)
Suggest you use Search All trees tab above to find and contact them.

There is a possible marriage for her in 1958. (To Smyth, as has the surname of the person who has her in his tree)
Could you say whether this is the correct person, and whether there are any subsequent marriages as that was 55 years ago?
Thank-you.

If you believe she is still using Smyth as a surname, have you looked for her on 192.com?

There is a marriage in 1969, Merton, for a Diane Smyth, is that possible?

Was the marriage to Palgetti in this country, and do you know when?
Do you know why she uses Corbin in Corbin-Webb?

There are 2 possible children from the marriage to Mr Skinner, are they her's, and are you in contact with them?
