LOOKING FOR AUDREY BETWEEN YEARS 1939-1945 LIVED IN KINGS HEATH BIRMINGHAM WENT TO COLMORE RD SCHOOL WITH ME BERYL YATES. PALS TOGETHER ALL THROUGH THE WAR.

Try Friends Reunited its school based

Beryl, do you know when she was born? There is no Audrey Wise/Wyse showing for Birmingham, either birth or marriage.

ADDED in passing, I attended Colmore Rd. in the early 60's! Fancy that.

Jan :-)

I think Beryl was born in Waterloo, Liverpool, in 1934, so Audrey could also have been born elsewhere.

These are possible births in the same school year, possibly.

Births Dec 1933
Wise Audrey M Wooldridge Bromley
Births Mar 1934
Wise Audrey Ellis Wandsworth

PM recieved - Beryl, it's best to reply on here. Just type in the box below then click 'submit'.

'SHE WAS BORN AROUND 1932-1934 COULD HAVE BEEN BORN IN SCOTLAND HER MUM WAS SCOTCH'

Jan

Do you know her address back then?
Jan

Do you know of any siblings that she may have had?

Thanks.

NONE THAT I KNOW OF

The Wise/Wooldridge Audrey appears to have siblings.

The Wise/Ellis may have no siblings - there are other births in these names, but slightly different areas.

These might be her parents, any recognition of their names?
Marriages Sep 1931
Ellis Winifred A Wise Wandsworth 1d 1252
Wise Herbert W Ellis Wandsworth 1d 1252

Otherwise Scotland for births....

Beryl has PM'd me the address. I have offered to check it out on the electoral register pre- and post-war, just to see if there is anyone with this name living there. If there is, this would likely be her parents, which might help us. Fingers crossed!
Jan

Found them on Ancestry electoral register 1965!!

Thanks very much Patchem - it is obviously them (thank goodness for unusual names!).

What are your thoughts on this one? Audrey was obviously unmarried 1965, aged 31, so a bit borderline whether she might have married after this.

I am pretty confident about the deaths above, especially Jean's, and I suppose if desperate Beryl might get the cert to see if Audrey registered it. Whether it's worth it to trace an old schoolfriend I am not sure!

I can't see any trace of Audrey apart from the above, can you?

Jan

Sorry, went for meal.

Not finished looking, but not yet seen anything else showing for Audrey.

I always say to buy the death certificates, for any additional information that might help.
