Rouse Olive Kate - Wandsworth 1d 730

The marriage will tell you how old she was at the time......and her father's details, assuming she knew them

The only way to see the cert is to buy it.

You can do so by following the link to the GRO from the freebmd record you have found.

It will cost £9.25

Ancestry links the above records........such a useful function on the site

Was she the informant on the death cert for Alec ?

Just wondering if she was still alive in 1985

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I am unsure if she had a middle name. The two options mentioned above are the ones I found. I do know that she had 2 children, but don't know if that would help at all.

Nicky

How reliable is your belief that she was born in 1903 and died between 1985 and 1990?
Buying the marriage certificate gives you the Father's name, to help in confirmation of correct family, should remove doubt and guesses.

I believe that she was the informant for Alec.

The Streatham link with Olive Kate is a good one. So I think that is her.

Thanks again, only been looking (or going round in circles!) all day on this.

2 possible children born in Croydon 1923 & 1928.

Andy

Also the possibility that she might have been a widow when she married

Yes the children were born 1923 Joan Poole and 1928 Francis Poole.

I don't think that she was married before, as I remember seeing years ago a story about them in a local paper being child sweethearts when they reached their diamond anniversary.
