I am trying to find relatives of Daphne Hilda Unwin, my grandmother. We know she had a sister, though we do not know her name, but my mother thinks she lived in Chatham and had married into a navy family. There is some confusion about the surname; Daphnes eldest child's birth certificate says Daphne Hilda Tippins formerly SPRING, but all subsequent five children say Daphne Hilda Tippins formerly UNWIN. We'd be very grateful for any leads, as we cannot find a marriage certificate nor birth record for Daphne.

Oops sorry..
Daphne died in 1959, aged 59, so birth estimated at 1900. Her first child Margaret (Peggy) was born in 1930. Mum remembers meeting the sister at Victoria Station when she was "little" so I'd guess at around 1949.
