Hi, Thank you for that info.
Do you know how I can find out any more info on Mavis please Irene

I would suggest that you purchase the marriage certificate. That will give you the name of her father and his occupation and hopefully her age. That may assist you to find her birth. It should also give you her second name and this may enable you to find her death.

This appears to be the death for Cresswell:

Birth Date: 5 Jun 1916
Death Registration Month/Year: 1974 June Qtr
