Find Ancestors

Welcome to the Community boards Beryl.



(I'll let Beryl know how to find her replies) :-)

Ooops, sorry Cynthia.........I should have posted that i sent Beryl a PM earlier.

Hopefully, she will get back to us.

Prickles. ;o))

All information I have received. From everyone is amazing. I do have most of it but I am looking for MAbels husband Robert Yates death details. Have tried everywhere I can think of, I have MAbels death she died in 1942 in THORNTON Liverpool. Taken to Thornton Crematorium. Mabel and Robert are my GrAnparents from there son Robert Junior.

Beryl ...Did Robert pre decease Mabel...?

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN LOOKING IN TO THE MABEL YATES HISTORY. I HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION ON HER WHICH IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED WHEN SHE WAS MABEL BROWN CAN BE FOUND IN THE BOOK CALLED "THORESBY TO TORRINGTON" THE STORY OF HARRY BROWN BY VALERIE STERN. UNFORTUNATELY I STILL CANNOT TRACE THE DEATH OF HER HUSBAND ROBERT YATES SENIOR. I AM WONDERING IF HE DIED AT SEA, MABEL DIED IN CROSBY IN 1942. THEY WERE MY GRAND PARENTS I ONLY MET MABEL. I WAS BORN IN 1934 SO HE MUST HAVE DIED BEFORE THEN.
SORRY HAVE NOT BEEN IN TOUCH SOONER BUT I AM NOW 82 AND DONT USE COMPUTER AS MUCH IN FACT THIS WILL BE MY LAST YEAR IN GENES REUNITED.

Presume this is her death

She was a widow in 1939- living with her daughter:

Yates Household (2 People) 30 Quarry Road , West Lancashire R.D., Lancashire, England

Dorothy Yates 18 May 1910 Female Ambulance Drive Single
Mabel Yates 18 Oct 1871 Female Domestic Duties Widowed

Did Robert have any other names? I can't find a marriage for Robert and Mabel so thought that Robert could have been a middle name and his death could be under another name.
