ORIGINAL POST
I am trying to find a Ursula Mary Fanny Margaret Allen born in 1910 her birth was registered as Kensington, London, England. Her father was Damer Leslie Allen who died in 1912 whilst attempting to be the first person to fly from England to Ireland. Her mother was Fanny Margaret Allen who died November 22 1910. I know Ursula travelled to New Zealand in 1930 to visit relatives. Ursula may also have married a Donald Howell but this has not been confirmed.
I have found Ursuala on the 1911 England census living with her grandfather James John Croomes Allen at Earls Court London.
I can find nothing for her after this any help please............. Alan

Your amazing.

Has to be the same person with those initials.

You have made my day.

Dont suppose you could have a quick look to see if there is any death record for Ursula Howell or possibly her husband.

Thanks Alan

I dont know if she remarried but I suppose there is a chance she is still alive!
She would be 98 now

Any ideas how to find if she is still alive
