There won't be any passenger lists for her so you won't know.

You don't give her name.

you had to be 21 to be on any electoral rolls so she wont show on the post war ones There were none taken during the war years anyway

cor you dont make it easy to do any look ups

This is her marriage
Marriages Mar 1948
Cole Ardamine M Ratchford Hammersmith 5c 1817
note the spellings!

Ratchford Arthur R Cole Hammersmith 5c 1817

so the cert will give her age and fathers name and her address at that time

logically I would think it unlikely she came over to London in the War unless she was doing nursing

As already mentioned there would not be a passenger listing from Ireland as it is all part of the UK anyway

Nothing much
