5 California Death Index, 1940-1997, father's surname TRUSCOTT, mother's maiden-name HANCOCK. California Death Index as well as FindAGrave gives birth date as June 30. However, the christening date of 22 May means the date of birth cannot be correct. Possibly "Jun" was a misreading of "Jan" and, for the moment I'm assuming this is the case.
