Karen, your best bet is to order the death certificates to see who the informants were, could be useful info.

£9.25 inc postage to your side of the pond!

Reggie I have looked in all trees and have send messages....no replies so far...Looking at Arthur and Annabella deaths, she died in Yorkshire and he in Somerset. So it would appear after Annabellas death Arthurs to somerset. So that gives me somewhere to search as perhaps he moved in with one of the children.

I will forward the names of Annabella's children to my cousin and see if she can learn anymore, Thanks! I'll try to order Harry's birth certificate and see what happens..

I apologize for not posting all the info that I already have....I have been researching my great grandmother Emma and her children for almost 10 years. It appears that my g-grandmother Emma Lucas (maiden name) used the last names of Powell, Davies, Lilliman, Davies again and Allen....she was only legally married 3 of those times....seemed the lady got around!...lol..I had quit working on this about 2 years ago and then by chance checked one of the boards that I posted on and found someone had posted a great deal of info to me that gave me a number of names to go on...This search has been one brick wall after another...my grandfather passed away when my dad was a kid and my father has been gone 20 years....there are no immediate relatives alive that can help much.....So in answer yes I do know how to do the research and I truly appreciate any help that I can get.....I had dates of birth for Harry and Annabella but not the baptisms for thank you for that....I did see that one birth for Brian Tindall and hoped it was right...couldn't find any others in the BMD....also thank you for the death notices for Arthur and Annabel Tindal......I do have a cousin on yoour side of the pond who has helped whenever possible over the years....again this has been a lengthly and frustrating search so I truly appreciate the help.....

'' I have Annabella's marriage in 1929 to a Arthur Jackson Tindall....wondering if anyone knows what became of them, children etc. ''

Funny enough I do agree with you,people need to learn how to research for themselves,but sometimes a little help to put them in the right direction helps too :-).
Lets just leave it at that :-)

Susan

The census and death info I posted was not from a FREE site..............

I feel - you probably don't agree - that it is much more rewarding for someone to find info themselves.........where possible

Point taken Reggie

So why are you posting helpful information then,and it is a help board after all.

I will respectfully withdraw and leave the Thread to you,apologies to Keran for trying to help ;-)

I'm sorry, Susan, but I do think you could have let Karen find the info............she needs to learn how to do the research

There were a number of Harry Powells born at about the same time, so it isn't possible for an 'outsider' to identify which of the possible deaths is his.

Do you know his exact DOB?

If not, get his birth cert.......................a search for his death can then be made using that info.

Have you looked in 'search all trees'?

I posted Annabella's death yesterday......didn't you see it??

To find other info - as advised, Karen - use freebmd.

And, a tip, if I may...................

When asking for help, be specific. Also, tell us what you already know, to save duplication of effort

MarieCeleste

MarieCeleste Report 3 Aug 2013 08:40

Have you checked for births with surname Tindall and mother's maiden name Powell to see if Annabella and Arthur may have had children?

ADDED: You could get Annabella's death certificate to see who the informant was

Reggie has posted the details above.

Thank you all for the information...unfortunately I have most of it already...more looking to find out what ever happened to them. I have Annabella's marriage in 1929 to a Arthur Jackson Tindall....wondering if anyone knows what became of them, children etc. Did Harry ever marry...I'm sure he served in WWII but not sure if he survived...
