I've already said in another message that I think you may well be right.
I,
too, had found the above marriage - and posted it - once I'd looked at
your projected date for Honor Blackman's birth date.

If you are right, then clearly BOTH dates given on the Internet for her
birth are wrong. The clue yours may be the correct entry is in the fact
that
she gave an interview to the Observer in which she mentioned an older
sister and a brother. Frederick Blackman and Edith Stokes apparently
had another girl, Barbara, in 1920 and a boy, Kenneth, in 1923.

I could probably solve the whole thing by doing her as one of my
celebrity
family trees for Practical Family History, but I fear my lady editor,
being a
lot younger than me, may think that Honor Blackman at 81 or whatever is
a little passe by now - even if we gentlemen of a certain generation did
once drool over her!

Sorry Roy I missed your post- I think you are probably right about the two
siblings. The father was probably the Frederick Thomas Blackman born March
quarter, 1891 in West Ham district and the mother was probably Edith Eliza
Stokes born March quarter, 1894 also in West Ham district.

Would it not be easier all round - given that the OP has a family
connection - to write to the lady and ask her? The BBC almost certainly has
an address.
