I am looking for descendants of the above, particularly a possible daughter named Dorothy, who was born probably somewhere in the 1940s and may still be alive and living, or have lived, in Yorkshire
Sandra,

Try looking in members trees to see if anyone has them listed

Otherwise look on FreeBMD for his birth and marriage .then look for any children born using the surname combination

PM sent with a possible marriage for Richard ,a birth for Dorothy and a possible marriage and two children born for her

I realized that it was a different spelling, Shirley. Not unusual in genealogy.

If you found a possible marriage for Richard why not post it here. He couldn't possibly be still living if he was born 1913.

Was it this one?

Marriages Dec 1943 (>99%)
Lovatt Richard Robins Coventry 6d 1439

There's a daughter and son to the marriage, daughter Dorothy J may be the one marrying in Yorks 1976?

Yes that's the one

I only sent it by pm as I was sending the birth and marriage details of the daughter to show how it matched up with mmn . The daughter info was sent as she is most probably still alive .

No he isn't still alive .i posted his death above but not found as yet any death for his wife

Edit. Found her ,sadly she passed at a young age

Sadly there are possible entries on the probate records for both son, also Richard and Dorothy J...but not certain as there are several with same names.

best bet will I think be to try and find Dorothy's sons on the electoral roll or 192.com?
