Not sure you have the right marriage for your half-sister, she was Lowe but the marriage you refer to was to an Edwards?

Her sons death reg March, your mothers in June, so seems unlikely they died together?

To find out how anyone died, you must purchase the death cert

Each cert costs £9.25 from the GRO

Unless your half sister died outside England & Wales, there is the strong possibility she is still alive.

Have sent PM with her exact dob and foremanes - found from here:

Great, Flip..............

Did you tell Robin how the site works?

Flip

Flip Report 3 Dec 2012 12:58

No Reggie, I sent it an hour ago and posted such, but failed to submit before I had to dash out. Message hasn't been opened yet.

I didn't realise there was another thread until I just saw your post.& realised Robin is new to the site. Will send another PM with instructions how to get back to the thread.

Your mothers marriage is also to be found on the website I posted. They married 26/2/1949, her father Frederick Edwards, engineer and his father William Albert Lowe, quarryman. Witnesses Desmond Sidney Lowe and Maurice Albert Lowe.

Reggie, think this may be a lost cause - no sign of the OP and the messages I sent have not been opened either!

Messages answered, thanking me for the information. Hopefully Robin will now be able to find his way back to the thread.

All I got was an automated PM asking for 'more details'!

Robin

Robin Report 18 Dec 2012 09:38

I thank both Reggie & Flip for their informative replies Which I have noted. I have recieved from another a very detailed reply regarding the Lowe's for which I'm extremely grateful.
It would therefore seem that my original posting of the 3rd of December has brought and is still bringing me more information.

Regards Robin
