I take it your gran is still alive? Does she remember the address where she lived with her mum until she was aged 12/13?? If yes, you could try the electoral rolls for the address to see when Irene ''vanishes'' from the roll, which I would imagine is when she died........... assuming she DID die................... Merry

So i would focus my search for her mothers death there, wouldn't you?

they would have lived in wiltshire between 1943 and 1956 as IRENE DICCOX would no longer have been alive after 1956.

Yes both lived in wiltshire with their mother for a time i believe.

Did Joyce and Valerie live in wiltshire with their mother at any time?

JOYCE DICCOX born 1942 in barmouth, county of merioneth. and her other daughter VALERIE DICCOX born in the same place in 1943

so chances are Irene whatever died in Wiltshire, i would have thought * what year was joyce born please?

Kathleen......Karl has all the pages saved and is currently going through checking again for anything he might have missed. Merry

I know i have the correct spelling for DICCOX as i have JOYCE DICCOX's birth certificate which is her daughter and i've just checked it again.

yes i have the correct spelling for DICCOX. I have found quite alot over the weekend but that is other people i have no information on these 2 people apart from what i have given you.

No deaths for Irene Diccox in 1955 or 1956 either. Are you sure you have the correct spelling for Diccox, as I didn't see one entry for that name. Kath. x

My nan was born in barmouth, county of merioneth, wales but she then went onto to live in swindon, wiltshire for most of her childhood before she moved to devon around 25 years ago.

You said you have found out quite a lot over the last couple of days....have you now got these two ladies birth registrations, so we can confirm how old they would have been at any given possible date of death? Merry

OK, so, if irene diccox was your grans mother, where abouts in the counrty was your gran Brought up, You mother must surely know where HER mother lived as a child

I have almost finished checking the pages again nothing!!

IRENE DICCOX was my grandmother's mum she is roughly guessing the years as she died like 50 years ago!!

Have you checked the pages again?? Merry

Karl - you just keep repeating yourseld here . we have got her name and the fact that she died when your gran was in her early teens! who was she to your Gran? Her Mother?

Sorry kathleen i meant to put IRENE CORRAN died between 1955 and 1956 not CHRISTINE SIMMS, CHRISTINE SIMMS died between 1960 and 1980.

No death for Christine Simms in either 1955 or 1956 on 1837online. Kath. x
