Find Living Relatives

I am trying to find my paternal grandmothers family.She live in Watford most of her life but I need her birth details.

presume Wilson was her married name?? if so you need to establish her maiden name first

Do you know where she was born? If not do you know who she married and when?

I can't see a death of a Nellie/Ellen/Eleanor Ann Wilson in 1963 who was the right age to have been born in 1876. Where have you got her birth year from?

Kath. x

Cant see her death ??? can you post it please

You need to give some family background. ie was she dads mum is so his name would help and his birth year and area .

Who was her hubby, have you established when they married and where

Sorry folks I am new to this,Her married name was Daniels and lived in Watford born 1876 unknown died 1963 watford.

Is this her death? If so no middle name given:-


Name: DANIELS, Nellie
Registration district: Watford
County: Hertfordshire
Year of registration: 1963
Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun
Age at death: 87
Volume no: 4B
Page no: 321

Kath. x

only shown as Nellie

Name: Nellie Daniels
Birth Date: abt 1876
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1963
Age at Death: 87
Registration district: Watford
Inferred County: Hertfordshire
Volume: 4b
Page: 321



So you need to get her marriage cert for her age and fathers name

Was this her marriage? :-


Name: WILSON, Ellen Annie
Registration district: Watford
County: Hertfordshire
Year of registration: 1897
Quarter of registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Spouse's last name: Not available before 1912
Volume no: 3A
Page no: 1097

MarriageFinder: Ellen Annie Wilson married one of the following people:

DANIELS, David<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
GREW, Reginald Thomas
DOWELL, Lilliam Mary

Could this possibly be her birth:-

Name: WILSON, Ellen Annie
Registration district: Northampton
County: Northamptonshire
Year of registration: 1875
Quarter of registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Mother's maiden name: Not available before 1911 Q3
Volume no: 3B
Page no: 60

or this:-


Name: WILSON, Ellen Annie
Registration district: Cookham
County: Berkshire
Year of registration: 1876
Quarter of registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Mother's maiden name: Not available before 1911 Q3
Volume no: 2C
Page no: 399

or this:-


Name: WILSON, Ellen Annie
Registration district: Kensington
County: London
Year of registration: 1878
Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun
Mother's maiden name: Not available before 1911 Q3
Volume no: 1A
Page no: 17

I think you need to buy her marriage certificate to get her father's name.

I think I would be more likely to go with the Kensington birth going by the age given on the 1901 census if she did marry David Daniels.
