Find Ancestors

Ann-Marie - the obit names some kids, etc. This generation would be in their 60s & 70s, most likely. I'ld start by trying to call them. If you get any of her rellies, you can ask them for names and addy's of who you'ld be best to contact.

This is Harry's death cert

I also wondered something, as Emily it appears died in the workhouse (am trying to find out who holds the records for the workhouse in Richmond as I'm in London next month and can have a nosey around and see what's there) if Penelope was born in the welsh workhouse? As from 1904 they were not allowed to put workhouse anymore and they have a list of fake address used, but none listed for Wales, I need to find the cert in my huge pile and see what it says, or she may have gone in with her mum and been adopted afterwards? Would the workhouse records for Emily show me if she came in with children etc? And what happened to them? I've not found any member of my family to have been in a workhouse thus far so not too sure what the record could tell me?

I also wonder if it is worth my while to purchase the death cert for Emily? As usually it is registered by the workhouse officer as opposed to a family member?

Havent found a death for Frances as yet....she would be 98 if she were alive....spose its possible?

Hi ya, I'm so sorry I have missed this, our exchange went down due to bloody snow..... Grrr and then the ice meant nobody could get to fix it!!

Right so to start the way I read Dorothy's obit means that she was the last of her 11 brothers and sisters (pre deceased by) so there is no on of her age left...

And we think that Harry and Frances adopted her? I see the link for my telephone who do I search to call? Also do I call? As I don't know for sure if she knows, (if she is still alive) I know the a word is a bit tricky and I'm not causing a debate etc but just don't know if I should? And where did you find all this info? I have scoured ancestry extensively but to no avail!!!

Thank you all for your help!! X

using mgnv search archives above, I think that this might be Harry's death...........
