My Grandmother is Dorothy Houghton who married my grandfather Robert Arnold Trickett. Robert was born 1920 Yeardsley Cum Whalley but i am unable to locate Dorothys birth place - possibly born 1916.

Any idea approx when? The reason why I ask is because if we find her death registration this would give her age at death and possibly a date of birth which could help to narrow down her birth.

Also do you know whether she was born in the same area as your grandfather?

Could this be her birth (would match up with the death above):-

Name: Dorothy Houghton
Year of Registration: 1919
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
Mother's Maiden Name: Chesworth
District: Toxteth Park
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8b
Page: 222
