Notes for Laura K Mary Baker
I cannot identify her birth as there are too many Laura Bakers and no Laura K Bakers.
_______________

But her death:

Found in Death records for 2000.
Reg. Number: 57C Entry Number: 239

LAURA MARY K LIGHTFOOT Registered: 8/2000 Re-registered: N/A

Date of Birth: 26 FE 1911

Surname at birth (or Enter Maiden name for females)
District Registered: STROUD   Code: 4871A
______________

The above death information lead to her birth registration in Q2 of 1911:

Surname   First name(s)      District   Vol   Page
Births Jun 1911   (>99%)
Baker Laura K M    Stroud 6a 317

She and her parents should be visible on the 1911 census.
______________
Notes for (Thomas) Geoffrey Biscoe & Laura K Mary (Family)
This has to be their marriage:

Surname   First name(s)   Spouse   District   Vol   Page
Marriages Jun 1947   (>99%)
Baker Laura K M Lightfoot Stroud 7b   1473
Lightfoot Thomas G B Baker Stroud 7b   1473

The clues are:

1. I had been told her name was Laura.
2. The bridegroom’s initials are exactly the same as the Geoff’s brith registration.
3. Their daughter’s birth registration gave the mother’s maiden name of Baker.

These clues then led to finding her death and from that to her birth.
