Upload your Ancestry Gedcom to this site. New members are more likely to use the Search facility than a random name search on the internet.

England & Wales sites you may not be aware of. N Ireland & Scotland have their own versions.

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl to search for births post 1911-c1983 using just male surname and mother's maiden name. Can also be used for marriages & deaths.

https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills although included in the Ancestry sub, can be used by anyone for free. Copies of Wills/Probate etc can be purchased for £10. Not all estates went to Probate & the ones listed after 1996 aren't as helpful as earlier ones.

To purchase certificates, only use the root source https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp
£6 for a PDF version if available or £9.25 inc P&P for a paper one.

http://www.192.com/ for electoral roll entries from 2002 inc Scotland & NI. It has been possible for everyone to 'opt out' of the commercial register since then.
If you see a potential entry, ask for details on this thread. Although 192.com is free to search, you have to pay to view details. The ER is included in the Findmypast sub which many GR members have and would be willing to use.

In the case of a possible 'opt out', see if a house sale has been listed on https://www.zoopla.co.uk/ under the House Prices tab.

https://www.thephonebook.bt.com/person/ telephone directory. May inc Scotland & NI

https://www.deceasedonline.com/servlet/GSDOSearch burial & cremation records. The basic details are included on Ancestry - register & purchase credits to view more detail. The Register image may show the address of the deceased & that of the person who arranged the funeral. More recent ones may have some info redacted.

As you are probably aware, James Harry Dalton (1883-1914) named his sister 'Lilian' Pearson as the sole legatee. (UK, Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects, 1901-1929 for James Harry Dalton)

On that basis, its reasonable to assume that he had no declared issue.

Welcome to the Boards, Bruce.

Firstly, could you please edit your post to remove your email address, as its against the site's T&C to publish it on an open board. People can still contact you once your trial period is up by sending you a personal message by clicking on your name.
For that reason, you should not delete your account (no one could send a message) and should make sure your GR account is always linked to an email address you can access.

The best way to contact possible relatives who are interested in FH is to use the Search All Member Trees function - top right under Search.
Enter the names of the family siblings & contact each GR member who may have them listed on their tree.
Assuming they can still access the linked email account, they'll be able to reply without additional payment.

Please be advised that GR never removes dormant trees or accounts. Its possible that some of the tree owners have be come to frail or have died.

My grandfather, Ernest Digby Dalton was born in Sheffield England In March 1891, the son of William Dalton (1833-1895) and Alice Ash (1860-1928). He was sent to Canada at age 12 as a farm aid worker and left his entire family behind.

Ernest had several siblings:
Gertrude "Lillian" Pearson (new Ash) 1880-1951
James Harry Dalton (1883-1914) Killed in action WWI
Charles William Dalton 1885-1955) served in WWI
Joseph Walter Dalton (1886-1947)
Beatrice Dalton (1888-1895
Gladys Daisy Dalton (1893-1893)
Leonard Dalton (1895-1895)
Sidney Dalton (1897-?)
Fred Ward (1901-?)
Harold Ward (1906-1907)
Ada Ann Dalton (1866-1945)
Ann Forshaw Dalton (1868-1943)

If you have any information relating to any of these family member or know of any descendants of this Dalton family, please get in touch via email. I am a Canadian descendant of Ernest and have been building his family tree. Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I just joined Genes Reunited on a trial basis but have a large family tree built on Ancestry.com and I am hoping To find descendants of my grandfather's lost family.
