Phyllis was born in Durban, SA in 1928. She was the 6th child of Charles and Florence Bean. She had to return to the UK in 1954 and came to stay with my Grandmother in Kent........heavily pregnant! She went on to have the baby which was a girl, born in Feb 1955...Sarojini. The baby was adopted because it was the result of a union between Phyllis and a black man...they married illegally in SA. I know Phyllis went on to commit suicide but I just cannot find any record of her death anywhere.......any help would be much appreciated. She was staying somewhere in Kent,...Belvedere I think. But kent is the most likely area she would have been.

The baby wasn't born in Kent

Possible, but a living relative is almost sure she died in this country.

Why post this again when the info has already been explored and posted on the earlier thread

Wastes helpers time

There is no death reg in that name that I can see, unless she married again over here?

Does your relative have no idea where in this country Phyllis was living after the birth?

This page has an exact DOB for her, might help with finding her death if correct and if she changed her name by marriage.

Shirley I was just looking at that one, might be worth trying I think.

That could be related to this marriage but I can't see a birth in the name Nair?
