Vicky Report 31 Aug 2011 20:52

Can anyone please help me, I'm looking for my connection to Beatrice Emma Sarah Timms, all I have is a death for her in 1971 Hillingdon Middlesex, I do not know if she was married at all and belive she was born in 1891. I know i have a connection through the Poskitt / Mitchell side of my family. The only other document I can find is of the above mentioned born in Eaton in 1891, which would mean she was unmarried all her life. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Their is this birth

Registration district: Eton

So would indicate she never married buy the death cert should/could confirm if she was a spinster, but bear in mind info on death certs are only as good as the informants knowledge

Apply for her death certificate for more information?

Thanks Roy, I think your information cleared a few things up.

Maureen interesting information, not sure how Agnes Mitchell fits into my tree though I'll have to have a good look for her, but thank you for your help.

Patchem, I wouldn't know where to start in applying for a death certificate!! :-D :-D

Any more help greatly appreciated

Vicky, you did say that you thought Beatrice was connected through your Mitchell side. So, if Agnes Mitchell was her mother, then would that not be the connection?

Perhaps tracing Agnes back might find a Poskitt lurking there!

(Or am I over-simplifying it?) :-S

Vicky

Vicky Report 31 Aug 2011 21:49

Marieceleste - no not over-simplifying lol, I just don't have much infomation on the Mitchell side, I have my Great grandmother Clara Mitchell and her parents / family. I have Clara's grandfather and his sister, also Clara's g grandfather, that is all. These have been a bug bare for some time now.

Poskitt comes from Clara's marriage!

Thanks again :-D

So how exactly did you come across Beatrice (just being nosy!)

Vicky

Vicky Report 31 Aug 2011 22:02

Documents relating to Beatrice not having a will a family member getting a share of her estate many years ago. Just never really knew how she was related.
