At the time though I wasn't aware of the Ethel born in 1930.

I actually have a (verified) photo of the wedding of Ethel & John, although I must admit that I have entered the following note against the marriage entry in my tree:
Research Note: This marriage to be confirmed as it would make her 45 at the time, which is probably older than she looks on her wedding photograph.

This now leaves me with nothing but a birth 7 May 1908 and baptism 30 Jul 1908 for Ethel (my aunt), who was always elusive and difficult to research.

Ethel Neilson died in 2018 age 88 so must be the one born 1930.

There is an Ethel Sharatt death Apr-Jun 1969 Spilsby district (Lincolnshire), dob 7 May 1908. I will see if I can find her on the 1939 Register.

No luck with the 1939 Register, I'm afraid.

Oh, there is an Ethel Jones death index entry matching the Ethel Sharatt one, so maybe she was known as Mrs Jones but not married to Mr Jones?

There is a family on the 1939 Register in Skegness (which was in Spilsby registration district):
William J Jones 29 Mar 1900 Lorry Driver
Ethel Jones 7 May 1908 Unpaid Household Duties
a little girl - name later changed to Collingwood - the fact that the record is open should mean she is deceased but I haven't managed to find a death record and I know some have been wrongly opened so I won't put full details
and a closed record.

Of course it's easy to go wrong with a name like Jones so I could be on the wrong track! Does Skegness ring any bells with you?

The entry that's blanked out in 1939 is probably a birth from Q4 1938, Spilsby district.

There is birth registration for a child under the name Sharratt maiden surname of mother Sharratt in Southwark for Jan 1937, could possibly be the same one.

Great find and definitely the right person. I've not used Scotland's People before but have now registered. I notice that, unlike the GRO, they don't give a quarter date. I'm wondering if anything can be gleaned from the Reference 566/ 393 alongside the name with regard to date?

Its the registration district number:

Bellshill (formerly Bothwell)Lanark 19722006 Old RD 566 Today's RD566

https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/resear...tion-districts

The other numbers maybe number in register.
