Freebmd shows the births of 2 daughters born in Sheffield. One was in 1941 & the other 1947. She may be better to trace forward as she has a more unusual name and a middle initial.
She double-barrelled her surname to Bentley-Rowland when she married Mr Baxter in 1967. She's listed on the 2018 ER & living in Sheffield.

Check with the BL first but we can give you her current address. Alternatively you can purchase credits to view the same on https://www.192.com/
