Find Ancestors

hi im trying to find the parents of ethel may smith, born early 1900s in hampshire uk, she nursed her mother till she died , and then emigrated to australia about 1930 to look after her relation albert smith who went some years earlier,she was repatriated to gosport hants by the red cross as she had lost both legs about 1966, thanks alan.

Look on freebmd for her birth..........

Do you know when she died?

hi i have looked on free bmd there are so many , i guess she died about 1966 her partner in aus died dec 1961 i dont think she liked it much and was glad to come back this from vague memories

What was her surname when she died?

Rose

her name was ethel may smith spinster regards alan

There is this Gosport death in 1966, but wrong age:
Ethel M Smith
Death Registration Month/Year: 1966
Age at death (estimated): 70
Registration district: Gosport
Inferred County: Hampshire
Volume: 6b
Page: 419
What relation is Albert to her - will they be on the same 1911 census?
Thanks

hi patchem,i think the ethel smith you found is my relative im sure she was a cousin of albert smith so should be on the1911 census,this will show who her parents are and that would be great,thanks for the info, regards alan.

If Albert wasn't Ethel's sibling, it's extremely unlikely that they will be together in 1911

sorry your quite right different parents, alan

Possible death of Mother:
Deaths Dec 1916
Smith Sarah J 51 Portsmouth 2b 667
(It is Sarah J in 1891 and 1911, and possibly in 1901 also)

Added:
and marriage:
Marriages Sep 1888
Henderson Mary Ann Portsea 2b 698
Mills William Panfield Portsea 2b 698
xxx Needle Sarah Jane Portsea 2b 698
xxx Smith Sydney Francis Portsea 2b 698

But I think you need to get the death certificate, as ages are slightly out, and varies from your recollections.

If she's your relative it would help if you can explain how you are related.
