I think it is the date that they were notified of the name change.

FMP have her indexed as Joyce E Levett / Monger.

[kiterunner]

There is a birth for Joyce E Levett registered Jan-Mar 1923 which would fit with the dob on the 1939 Register.

The Joyce Levett who married a Thompson in Blackpool appears to have been a Nevett.

There is a Joyce E Levett / Monger marrying in 1962 in Surrey.

And Joyce Emily Clark died 3 Jan 2016 Sutton, Greater London, DOB 22 Dec 1922. Clark being the other surname in the 1962 marriage (post #15).

That's the second marriage isn't it, so I still don't have the Monger one.

Yes, I know, but Ancestry say it reads Teresa Monger with no other surname.

Yes, that's the person I was looking for.

I could have sworn I searched the post 2007 deaths database, but I guess I didn't as I do get that match now, but didn't see it before.

Thanks.

So, the likelihood is that she married Mr Monger before the end of WW2, so as she was only 19 when the war started she isn't going to appear on the eroll in her maiden name.

Mr Monger may be Arthur L as there's a couple Arthur L and Joyce E in Epsom in the 1940s and 1950s. Absolutely none of which tells me who Joyce's mother is! lol (had hoped I might find Joyce with her mother before her first marriage but looks like it's not to be.)

Drat!! So it was a different sister who didn't marry Mr Levett (assuming the tree is correct). So, back to the drawing board!

Thanks Kate.
