I think that's the only way to explain it. Shirley didn't say "we got you tested" so it was probably Kevin who did it. The papers could have been in his effects, which have ended up with Shirley. She might have flipped through them and known what they were without looking at the results in detail. You'd think she'd have known CF was genetic though given her experience with Jimbo.

I would have thought though Denise as Kevin's wife would get his effects

Maybe she gave the stuff about the kids to Shirley at some point?

I think we're supposed to assume that Shirley got a load of stuff from Pat's house last year when she found that home video. Denise lived there at the time of Kevin's passing.

Yes perhaps but I would have thought giving to Dean or Carly directly would be the better option

I think Kim's probably right that Shirley got the stuff from Pat's house.

If Denise did give it to Shirley it might have been because she wasn't in touch with either Carly or Dean at the time.

apologies all as i assumed dean's tests were clear

Denise having given the stuff to Shirley in the absence of the children would also fit. Carly left to go travelling shortly after the funeral. She asked for Kevin's wedding ring but I don't recall her taking anything else. Dean was in prison and left Walford almost as soon as he was released.

No apologies necessary.

where does shirley store personal belongings

[Kim]

A vodka bottle? I don't know, Shirley doesn't seem the type to me that would be able to keep even important papers safe. Once she'd read the results and known that none of the others had CF, it's a bit strange that she would think to keep them.

She went upstairs in Kim's place to get them when Mick came round, so up there presumably. I don't think she'll have a great deal with her as she's living in someone else's house, aside from anything else.
