Find Ancestors

Hi all,

I'm trying to research my wife's family tree (as I'm still stuck on a part of mine).

My wife's grandmother's maiden name is Sieben (1st name Wilma), born in Germany 1932/3. She was married to a person by the surname of Drewery (I think the right spelling). She had 3 children by him, Rita about 1956 who died age 17, Peter about 1956 who died age 60. and Maureen G 1959.
As I only have access to UK info, could anyone please help me by finding out...

1. Wilma Sieben's d.o.b, where she was born exactly in Germany, who she married with the surname Drewery
2. The d.o.b's of Rita and Peter, and where in Germany Rita, Peter and Maureen were born

Wilma remarried, to Roy LLewellyn whose d.o.b was 1924, from Caerphilly, Wales. They had 3 children together who I have details for already, (Roy, Michael and Pia). I think Rita, Peter and Maureen's surnames were changed to LLewellyn after Wilma's 2nd marriage.

I know this is a big ask, and I'd really appreciate if anybody could help please.

There isn't a birth registered for a Maureen with the parents surnames showing.

It probally would seem unlikely that the eldest children in their 20s would have a surname change,

Thank you Kay

Don Valley is Doncaster I take it?

Were you looking through this site Kay? I just tried seeing as it's Uk based (Doncaster), but I couldn't find the same info

All district info can be found by clicking on the name of the district on freebmd, which is a site you should familiarise yourself with. It’s invaluable -and easy to use

Please remove Maureen’s DOB - open invitation to identity theft

To find exact dates for the other children, buy their birth certs, although, if Rita died in England or Wales her DOB will be on the death record on freebmd.

I see the Llewellyn marriage in 1970,

and the births of the later births born in Wales.

Use this free site to check the births and marriage you've been given - put the site in your favourites and learn how to use it for bmd's 1837 - approx 1983

https://www.ukbmd.org.uk

click on Don Valley and the places that Don Valley Registration district covers are listed

Another good site , also free but you need to register, is

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp

You'll get Mother's maiden names shown for years that freebmd doesn't and also ages at death pre mid 1860's also not shown on other sites.

Use this site to order certificates too.

Yes, I saw those, thank you

The 1959 birth MG Drury remains not found in England/Wales..unless the surname was something else at birth.or came from another Drury family.?

There is a birth for Maureen G Drury in British Overseas Forces Indices in Düsseldorf- BUT it’s 1955, so can’t be a sibling of the two posted above.

That person (probably) married in Wales in 1975

I will let you find the record on freebmd.

As far as I can tell Wilma is still living. She’s on the ER to 2016, and there’s no death on the GRO index which goes up to 2019

Maureen G was born in Germany, like her mother. I just don't know where in Germany for either of them ErikaH
