One child may be almost a year younger than the other or she could be
a foster child who's been taken in on a permanent basis.

Is this your grandmother?

Ancestry does have a copy of FreeBMD but it also has the full GRO indexes.

FreeBMD has the complete list as does FindMyPast and FamilyRelatives
as well as Ancestry. All four sites also have images you can check.
FreeBMD's are free of charge. There is no more complete index than the
ones on these sites.

Incidentally, the bounces address you included in your mail is for
list administration purposes only, not for general list use.
