Hi She married Ronald Shea in 1956 so she would be Karen Shea. I still haven't found that either. I have looked in Findmypast but not had any luck. I can only assume that her real name wasn't Karen. The family do have a habit of altering their names. Thank you for everything will let you know how I get on. Thanks for everything.
