Find Ancestors

I am trying to track down any information about my mother-in-law & her family. My husband has very sketchy information about her DOB etc. What we know is she was born in England in approx 1939, her mother & Father were Winifred & Ronald Settle. She married an Italian man and had numerous children, they migrated from Italy to Australia in 1974. She passed away from cancer in Australia approx 1981, leaving behind Ronald, Stephen, Eugene and Aurora. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated as we would love to find her English roots. Thank you

Here's her birth:

Name: Maureen Settle
Mother's Maiden Surname: Tucker
Date of Registration: Jan Feb Mar 1938
Registration district: Huddersfield
Registration county: Yorkshire
Volume Number: 9a
Page Number: 433

I've found a sibling for her (same parents' surnames, by searching the births index at Ancestry) and will send the info to you privately since he could still be living.

I said in my PM I'd do a quick electoral roll check, and I don't see anyone to match the brother. There also isn't a death for that name 1984-2005 in the index at Ancestry.

If you search at BT on line

http://www.thephonebook.bt.com/publisha.content/en/search/residential/search.publisha

for Settle in Huddersfield, there are only 7 listings in the broad area.

It might be worth writing to those people, some of whom are likely related in some way.

The sibling's birth is the info I did not post here, because the person in question could be a living person who would not know that his personal info was being distributed on the internet without his knowledge or consent.

I sent it to Kathryn via private message.


Kathryn, if you would post in this thread that you have seen replies, and not reply by private message except if the info is personal -- click on the purple Reply button up top, and a box will open for composing a reply.
