Entry in Ancestry Public Member Trees for Gwendolen Lorna Oliver born in 1913, parents Benjamin L and Edith A Oliver, her marriage to Bernard W Taylor, in Surrey South Western in January 1945, a son and her death in Surrey on 1 July 1962. However the son Robert George F Taylor was born in Reading in 1948 when she was living in Guildford and no apparent connection with Bershire so I have my doubts regarding the accuracy.
Gwendolen Lorna Oliver was my tenth cousin.
