Find Ancestors

hi
i am trying to get the death reg details for gladys dunn died dec 28th 2009 the london area she was born gladys evans 1821 london
any info appreciated

as far as I know no BMDs after 2005, you would need exact dates and visit the local office a recent electoral roll may narrow the area

thank you

Was there some info in particular you wanted from her death certificate? It might be possible to dig it up some other way.

You meant she was born 1921, not 1821?

Or maybe you're looking for her secret. ;)

Also, if you're the right relationship, you'd be able to get the certificate anyway. You don't know any immediate family?

Are you already in contact with the two other people who have her (same place of birth) in their trees here at GR?

apologies for mistake yes of course she was born 1921 not 1821
she is the granddaughter of my grandmothers brother
correction daughter

hi again
as i say gladys is the daughter of my grandmothers brother
his name is sydney william evans he married isobel newton 13 /10 1915
rochford essex
i have thier first born as sydney evans 1920 rochford essex
then they had gladys 1921 southend essex
im wondering if they had other children married 5 years before sydney was born
ive searched free bmd & family search
any info /suggestions on how i could trace any other children from this marriage appreciated

Although they were married for 5 yrs before Sidney Jnr was born, don't forget that there was a war on between 1914-18. Chances are that Sidney Snr was away fighting.

corinne
yesof course i forgot that & that could expla\in why
thank you

The only other place to check, just in case FreeBMD hadn't transcribed (there is still the odd missing bit for those periods, I think), is Ancestry, in the index starting 1916 there (which is separate from FreeBMD's).

Only the two births, 1920 and 1921, show there for Evans-Newton in Rochford reg dist / Essex.

Corinne's explanation does sound like the likely one!

If you do want to be in touch with her family, though, are the GR members I mentioned likely to be descendants? I assume you're not in touch with the two children's children/grandchildren (who would know what you were asking).

janey
thank you for the info
i am in touch with a family member but due to a family fall out 10 years ago this person knows very little
i will send for that death cert
thanks again

You're quite welcome - I wasn't even thinking that maybe that death cert would be of as much interest as the other!

I think I've identified what is likely to be his marriage. Do you need that info -- and any identifiable kids? I won't hunt if you already have it.

janey
yes plesae i would like that & any info will be appreciated
thank you
ive spoken to the family member a short while ago
he has a brother again does not know much about him
oh dear when these family fueds start its like war
goes on for such a long time

Will do ...

I know ... the only member of my dad's family who would have known anything about the early days was his eldest sister, born before they immigrated to Canada (actually born in Ireland c1920 when my grfather was in the English military there, imagine the tales I never asked my grmother about). She is a horrible person. Nobody talked to her if they could avoid it. Lifelong raving hypochondriac, she has outlived her three younger siblings, but unfortunately now, even if I had bit my tongue (something she never did) and tried to talk to her, she would no longer remember ...

janey
thank you
vey sad about some family members

janey
youre a star
thank you for the pm & valueble info

hi
im now trying to trace the son of charles dunn & gladys evans
he was born in the london area june 30th 1949
his name is charles dunn its probable he will be alive therefor if you are able to trace him could you please send details on a pm to me if you dont mind thank you
im hopeing to trace a marr & children if possible
ive searched free bmd & family search
any info appreciated

Okay David - re PMs - that's all I wanted was confirmation of the surname. And I see you've continued in the same thread, which is good.

I will have a look (and will add a note here to let other readers know if anything is sent by PM).

Middle initial W.

Per various info there are two marriages that are possible -- one in Southend-on-Sea and one the next year in Cambridge (you had told me he was last seen in Cambridgeshire). Will PM the two.

David,

I know this might sound a little off the wall, as the death was fairly recent, have you tried googling her name and seeing if any local papers have a family Obituary?

It's quite plausable in this technological that she might have one. I know 2 family members whom have died since 2006, i have managed to get details of the death (date and place) from online Obit's

thank you one & all
