I have checked out the 1964 electoral register at Ancestry and found that Child 1 was listed as living in London with her mother, who herself was going by her childhood nickname (rather than her actual birth names) and her *first* married name (i.e. the same surname as her child was given at birth). Given that the mother had married for a second time and changed her name in 1947, and then when she died in 1984 her death was also registered in her second husband's surname, this doesn't make any sense. It does, however, confirm my belief that Child 1 was raised by her mother in London, as shown in photographs & news clippings I've found in our family photo albums. |

If the second marriage failed when Child 1 was still a child, the mother may just have reverted to her first married name for convenience, so she and the child had the same name |
