We need dates, please

Have you tried to find out anything yourself?

What do you mean by 'family'?

Was Whitely the woman's maiden name?

Hello Fairthorn,

As Lynnette is a new poster, did you also send details of how to return and find the other helpful advice which is on here? If not, I will send one of my usual messages to alert her. Cx

Cynthia Report 25 Oct 2011 14:09

Lynette Report 25 Oct 2011 21:15

thank you for all replys. this is all new to me. i,m trying to find the family for my solicitor

Flick

Flick Report 25 Oct 2011 22:44

PM received............still totally devoid of date info

Whitely was Mary's married name...........maiden name BROOM

Lynette

If you don't give dates.........no-one can help you

People on here are just paying members like yourself.........

Flick

Flick Report 25 Oct 2011 22:46

If your Solicitor is involved, the deaths must be VERY recent...........so no wonder we can't find anything on line

Having said that, your Solicitor should be the one carrying out these searches - he/she will have access to far more records then we have.............and you'll be getting a big enough Bill from him/her.

Flick

Flick Report 25 Oct 2011 22:52

There is no marriage in England/Wales between 1916 and 2005 for Mary Broom to anyone named Whiteley (or any variant thereof)

jax Report 25 Oct 2011 23:04

I thought Flowerpot had sent contact details???

Or was that for someone completly unrelated??

patchem

patchem Report 25 Oct 2011 23:16

I am assuming that Flowerpot is assuming that Walter H Broom, born and died in Devon, but married in Somerset, is the Walter in question.
There are 3 Broom/Eveleigh children born in Devon, and another possible born in Taunton.

If Mary Broom is Walter's sister. his mother's maiden name is possibly Rousell, and there is this birth:
Mary I Broom
Mother's Maiden Surname: Rosewell
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1920
Registration district: Honiton
Inferred County: Devonshire
Volume Number: 5b
Page Number: 28
Have not worked out the married connection yet.

What are solicitors paid to do?

Added:
No, if Harry is Rousell, then Rosewells are a diferent family, so do not know what the Mary connection is.

When did Mary die?
Thanks
