Yes, I've seen the images

Birth Date: abt 1933
Date of Registration: Mar 1955
Age at Death: 22

But also note the birth as 'about' 1933 - Which would make it 2 years out
The known dob was the 14th March
Registration: Mar 1955 is also approx, the registration Exeter is correct as it covers Torbay
As confirm, death was: 13 Jan 1955 (Torquay Hosp) a week after birth to a daughter born on the 6th of Jan
Those are the known facts

What is not clear are her parents, as there are different names floating around, and a possible adoption to her fathers sister

Still waiting on the marriage cert, but might have to also get a birth cert

Yes I also saw the intial G will have to wait and see on that one

How do you know her dob was in March 1931?

Are you using this?

Births Mar 1931
Davey Joan M Phillips Barnstaple 5b 575

This just means her birth was registered in the March quarter of 1931. She could have been born anywhere between November 1930 and March 1931.

I looked at the image and it does say 22.

Have already ordered her marriage cert, but still waiting on that :(
her dob was March 1931
she died 13 Jan 1955 (thats confirmed)
So was aged 23/24 not 22 as stated on the death registra

Joseph - dont think those dates works, mother woulld have needed to given birth age 66

How can you say where and when she was born if you don't know her parents names from a marriage cert. or have her birth cert?

Her age at death is 22 which mean she was born 1932/1933, which doesn't tie in with the birth you mention.

She also has another middle initial on her marriage registration.

To progress, you need to buy the marriage cert. and hope her father is listed.

Yes I had seen
Davey Reginald F Phillips Barnstaple 5b 1002
Phillips Priscilla Davey Barnstaple 5b 1002

But was thrown off by some old old scribbled notes referring to a Fred and a William
Possible that Fred was used by Reginald though
:-)
Edit:
Did some more looking on your info
Her mother died in 1960 so that could tie that in, if that is her mother
Seems to be no link though
;)
