Find Ancestors

There is no record on the BT site of a landline for them.

Probably only got mobiles - or they are ex-directory.

It is NEVER a good idea to ring up out of the blue , anyway.


BUT - write a carefully-worded letter enclosing a stamped addressed envelope, and see what happens

Good luck....................

Ok, sorry I didn’t know

Wow you’re so good at this aren’t you.... finding out when the house was last sold. I’m getting excited now . Thank u so much. Wish my brain could think of these things. xx

You need to be careful about posting recent addresses on here.

The only thing I can do is write a letter to the daughter which I’ve just done. Hopefully she will be at that same address. That’s the only way of contact. I’ve no idea how to get a phone number for that address without spending a fortune on 192.com etc. Xx

Hi Dea, none of them sound familiar... she was living with Katherine Elizabeth Waters. Hundred acres lane.
2005 her other daughter Joanna was at Laurel Ave Twickenham. (That’s if I’ve got the right Joanna) other occupant Matthew J Lacey xx

You must take into account that after 2002 people could opt out of the public ER.

Have you made any attempt to get in touch with the her or her daughter at the address you have?

Zoopla shows that the last time the address was sold was in May 2001

Is Brunswick Court, or Steppingstone Place a familiar address to you?

Which daughter was she living with in 2002 please?

Yes I’ve checked the D.O.B and it’s definitely 18th June 1944.
I really don’t think she’s passed away. I was wondering though, in the year 2002 she lived with her daughter in Buckinghamshire (I have the address) and then after that, there’s nothing I can find for Valerie or even her daughter. Do u think Valerie could of gone in a home if she wasn’t very well? Will any record show this?
Finding Valerie has been ongoing for me for years. I’m determined to find her or/and her daughters. Why is it so hard? xxx
Oh, the Jones guy.... I’m not really of. She could of married him and then divorced. Remember... she was living with her daughter in 2002 .

You have access to her birth cert - check the actual DOB

Any thoughts on all of the other info?

Oh wait..... sorry, just read the bottom part of your mail about being a birth match for the Valerie that died.... that’s still a chance my Valerie is still alive!!! ????????

Ahhhhh now then. Yes, Valerie is connected to Bedfordshire... her daughter had an address there and Valerie went to live with her. I’m so sad as this definitely looks like a death certificate for her. ????. I’m gutted to be honest. Ok, so now my search is for her daughters.... Katherine Elizabeth Waters and Joanna Claire Waters.
Minnie is not Miriam. I’ve looked at that before.
I shall now telephone my father and tell him the bad news that Valerie is no longer with us. Hopefully we can track down her daughters!!!
Thank you so much. xx
Yes very windy today ... keep safe and warm xx

I’m certain her name is Valerie June. My dad told me and also it says it on the birth certificate xx

Good thinking, Dea!

Yes Erika - the weather is 'evil' here as well! It looks so miserable out there that on my way to get a cup of coffee I changed my mind and helped myself to a (small) glass of wine instead ;-) :-D

I hope it brightens up soon before I start on a box of my Christmas chocolates !
