Is this the death?

If so, the birth year recorded does not tally with the facts

Name: Benjamin C Terrell
Birth Date: abt 1899
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1963
Age at Death: 64
Registration district: Northampton
Inferred County: Northamptonshire
Volume: 3b
Page: 574

What was the informant's stated relationship to the deceased?

I think GR may 'pull' your thread if you don't edit the birth details of this man who is almost certainly alive

Reggie

Reggie Report 19 May 2012 09:19

There is a possible marriage in 1962, and two possible offspring of the union

just an idea, if you edit your thread so a surname shows in title you will get more hits. i often scroll down just to see if there are names i know but it would take too long to lok at all threads that just say someting generic like "need help"good luck

The person born in 1936 is almost certainly alive, and you have posted his birth details

You are not new to the boards, so you should be fully aware of the guidelines

When did Terrell marry O'Neill?

Jacki Report 19 May 2012 23:05

Just put his name and birth year in your post.

Have you tried www.192.com?

Or the BT phone book?

I see you've included his details in your GR tree -

I thought you have just said you have his address?

If not you will need to buy credits or look for a phone number on BT online. but as many people are ex directory these days you may not find one

If you have the address from 192.com, write a very carefully worded letter asking if he knows the names you have as you think you may be related.

Do NOT please phone up or turn up.... a letter is much better as it gives the person time to read and digest and consider what they want to do (if it is him) , without being 'put on the spot', which is important for everyone but particularly for an older person imo.

Jacki

Jacki Report 21 May 2012 20:36
