Three Saffell/Hopson births on freebmd. I'll leave you to find them, as they are much too recent to post on here

Iris is Betty's sister - not immediately apparent from the request

Betty is not her given name - I would imagine this is her birth

Births Dec 1937 (>99%)
Hopson Amelia B Stanford Stepney 1c 347

Two further siblings - births on freebmd

If I'm understanding Susan's post correctly, it was Dorothy who married a Tommy.





EDIT:

(Deleted wrong marriage - correct one below, but won't post ref nos, as so recent)



Dorothy L Hopson (mms Stanford) was born in Romford 1940.
