If you buy her birth cert you will have her actual birth date which may help with trying to find her

Use the GRO ref shown and order from

www.gro.gov.uk. They cost £9.25 inc postage

This must mean Gladys had 2 brothers who died very young before she was born. Shirley do you mean Dorothy's birth certificate?

Neil,

There is a file on the National Archives of Australia site.
Raymond Pearson born 8/8/1925 Leicestershire
Navy Service No D/LX615969
Sister- Dorothy Errington
Child- Douglas Pearson
Arrived 4/4/1946. SS Golden Hind

You can request a copy of this file. Not sure on the cost.
Looks like the sister came out to Australia with the two boys.

Good luck with your search.
