You might get a useful informant from her death cert.

It was only the things you have posted anyway LK

All I had to go on was the mmn was Ball two children not sure when born after the war and not sure if the father was Shepherd or not, born poss Bromley area or Brighton area

Maybe Dorothys birth cert should be purchased to find out date of birth then maybe can pin point a death?

I was told that Dorothy was born in 1911 but the infomation I have been given on this post is looking more like she was born in 1916, I have been told she died in London with the name miles, but born Ball and Sidneys name was Shepherd...all; very confusing...

If she never remarried then her name on her death cert should be Miles...unless she divorced of course then it would be Ball.
I suppose it depends who registered her death and what they knew
If you are not sure about the birth maybe the marriage cert will help it should give her age as long as she did'nt lie

My advice would be to invest in some certificates.

1) The death cert for the informant
2) The marriage to Alfred Miles for age and father.

If she is the one born in 1916 with MMN Hayes there could be siblings who are still alive.
