Hello I am throwing this query from my particular brick wall into the list for one more try in case someone else has any ideas. A child, Angela Heather CARTER, was born in Pevensey Bay on 28th September 1944 - at home - 12 Fielding Terrace. I believe it may have been Army accommodation at that time. We have been told that she died shortly after birth although no death certificate can be found. We have the birth certificate. The family were Roman Catholic. They moved to Carisbrooke Road, St Leonard's on Sea shortly afterwards but as no Electoral Registers were taken during the war I cannot find the address where they lived - 13 Carisbrooke Road - apparently a house shared by other family members too, ROBINSON and WHITE. I have enquired at many cemeteries around East Sussex and so far none have a record of either her burial or that of her parents later on. I would have thought even if she was very poorly a baptism would have been carried at home and from earlier research I understand this would have been entered into the parish register by the priest afterwards. (I have a copy of such a baptism which took place in 1917 where the child was "in fear of death" and baptised at home) She lived and we found her baptism at the Church of Our Lady Star of the Sea in Hastings. She was the mother of Angela CARTER. Bob Waters gave me lots of tips last time I tried to solve this puzzle and I think I have followed up every one of his suggestions and so far nothing can be found. Any help, advice or new ideas anyone can give me will be much appreciated and if not successful then I must put her to sleep once and for all and give up on this particular mystery. With thanks and kind regards Diana Ingram

Hello Diana, Is there any chance she was adopted out ? Or is there a chance a childless couple in the family 'took her on' as their own. Is there a female in the family born 1944 who is an only child with the christian name Heather or Angela or has a middle name of either of those two? Just a thought.
