    Just bumping this old thread of mine as my mate is doing some more research .
    Can anyone help with the date that Edith Hall married Reg Shipley ?
    Also is there any mention of this V2 explosion in any of the newspaper archives ?

    Thank you very much for looking that up.

    edit:

    I'm confused, one register says they married in 1942 but this one for 1939 has her as Shipley then.

    Owen: the 1939 Register was updated regularly - I've seen updates as late as 1970.

    You have to feel sorry for Eveline Burchell (nee Hall). She lost both parents, two sisters and her first child.

    NAME: Eveline Doreen Burchell
    BIRTH: 2 May 1921
    DEATH: Mar 2002 - Waltham Forest

    You can see above she was initially noted as Edith Hall, but this has been modified as harkness mentions, at a later date to show her staus at that time, I would assume the 'M' in the address column means 'Married', and of course they have modified her surname to reflect the latest situation for her. You can see similiar updating was done on the rest of the sheet as this document was the basis for the NHS system in the UK

    Correction: three sisters. Phyllis Daisy Charlotte Fowle (nee Hall), post #7, was another daughter of Thomas Joseph Hall and Edith Marion (nee Twyman).
