On Ancestry there is a Dorothy Rose West with the parents you quoted but there is no other info only that she died in Auckland NZ - no date

Free BMD record
Birth - Dorothy Rose West Q1 1911 Wandsworth ref 1d 651

Just had another look on Ancestry, this time for Rosalind Florence West and it seems to confirm Maureen's posting

Rosalind married a Charles William Gibson(b 1897) and had at least 1 child-
Marie Annette June Gibson b 31 March 1931 NZ and died 4 Nov 1994 in Perth Western Australia
Marie married a Arthur Edwin Edwards (b 4 Dec 1929.) He died 25 Jun 1986 also in Perth
Rosalind died 1980 in NZ
Rosalind's parents are recorded as John West Eliza Allen Christopher so the tree owner of the one I quoted in my earlier posting has picked up the incorrect birth record
There is no record of a second marriage for Rosalind on the tree and no dates quoted for Rosalind's or her daughter Marie Gibson's marriage

there are a number of "living Edwards" children of Marie and Arthur Edwin Edwards with no indication where they were born
Only one child is named - Ronald Stephen Edwards who was born 14 Nov 1951 in New Zealand so it looks like they were married in NZ
