http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl shows a Barbara Gough born 1940 with the same mmn as you specify. The birth was in Ashby de la Zouch.
Have you purchased the BC to confirm or rule it out?

It could be that her mother was evacuated due to WW2 bombing.

What is your connection to this lady please?

For our benefit only

Parents were Ivy D Field and Charles E Gough. They married 1937 Camberwell reg.

This couple probably also had the following children
Shirley D Gough, 1938 Camberwell
Sylvia Gough 1939 (same)
Perhaps - Brian T Gough 1942 Lambeth

Are you in contact with any of the above or their descendents? When and where were they last in contact?
Have you searched all members trees to see if she (or the siblings) are listed??

Neither tie in with 'living in London'. If the death for Ivy is correct, to the best of your knowledge, then the informant may be related.

Have you tried to find info yourself Angela?

If so, where have you looked?

You refer to Barbara as a half-sister to someone. Which parent do they share?

Presumably, in view of the suggested death for Ivy, it's the father

Barbara has 2 siblings Shirley & Sylvia. My husband Chas Gough & his half siblings share the same father Charles Edward Gough. He left his first wife & daughters back in the 1940`s. I believe also Barbara may if still alive live in Leicester but do`nt know married name or where she got married as she was born in Camberwell. I have looked on Family Search, Find my past & BMD Would loved to have found other 2 siblings. Sorry if I seemed a bit vague but still not very good at research. Could put it down to senior moments!

Get a copy of the mother's death cert...................the informant is probably one of her children

Jacqueline Report 2 Aug 2015 15:05

In 2002 Ivy was living in Melton Mowbray

The other occupant does not appear to have been related to her

First name(s) SYLVIA SHEILA
Last name GOUGH
Gender Female
Birth day 27
Birth month 6
Birth year 1939
Age -
Death quarter 4
Death year 1987
District LEICESTER CENTRAL
Register number 1087
County Leicestershire
Volume 6
Page 1394

This fits with the birth registration, which is JAS Qtr.............but the additional forename leaves room for doubt.

However, there is no birth for a Sylvia S, nor is there a marriage for Gough to a Sylvia S
