So Reginald looks like being his brother (as one would also guess from 1939 above):

GRO Reference: DOR Q2/1994 in BOURNEMOUTH (4271A) Reg A5D Entry Number 94

harold Finch died 1994 in Bournemouth

born 7/5/1907

Re the Birmingham address for Alice & Harold on ERs 1957-65 , which I posted at the bottom of page 1 -

Harold was at that same address in 1950, with Reginald Finch and Rose Finch.

In 1955, Reginald and Rose are at that address - but not Harold.


Marriages Jun 1935 (>99%)
Finch Reginald Hopkins Birmingham 6d 617
Hopkins Rose Finch Birmingham 6d 617


This is NOT that Reginald's birth, as this child died the same year:

FINCH, REGINALD mmn HAWKES
GRO Reference: 1896 M Quarter in BIRMINGHAM Volume 06D Page 144

Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a death for aHarold in Bournemouth - do you have any idea about when or where he may have died.

She was in a nursing home.

btw Harold Finch died before Alice. his death cert may help

No problem.

It is good that you were adopted together and that you have found your half.
sisters families. Many people are not that lucky.

Could you tell us who registered the death and where Alice was living. Although if she was, say, in a nursing home it won’t help much. She doesn’t seem to have left a will.

Alice and Harold Finch in 1965:

Alice A Finch
in the Midlands, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965
Name: Alice A Finch
Residence Year: 1965
Ward or Division/Constituency: Districts 1 to 111
Street Address: 87 UPPER THOMAS STREET 3 bk
Residence Place: Birmingham, West Midlands, England


They were at that address from at least 1957 until at least 1965

sorry nameeslessone. its the kind of thing that happens with this blasted dementia

Your questions

Brother adopted with me
I have known about my half sisters and there dauters for a long time. I have recently been in touch with one of my half nieces

I have the death cert

I thought I would set out what we had so far as it can be difficult to get ones had around al the information, even with dementia. If I've got anything wrong or missing I'll add it in as an amendment so it all keeps together.

Alice Ann Jenkins born 25 August 1912 in Worcestershire
1938 marriage to Harry H Bradley
1939 is registered as living with Bradley with NHS amendments to show her later names as Perschke and Finch (Finch by deed pol)
Birth of two daughters in 1940 & 1943
1949 Alice was having an affair with Gerrys father and she had a son in late 1949.
Gerry appears to have been registered twice, as ‘Gerry’ E Bradley and again on the same page as ‘Gerry’ K Perschke.
1950 Alice & Gerhard marry in 14/1/ 1950 and have another son in November registered as Perschke
1951 14/2/1951 Alice leaves added: Harold Finch
Added: 1994 Harold Finch dies in Bournemouth
1997 Alice dies in Bournemouth.

Questions.
Did Gerry’s brother also go for adoption or did she take him with her.
Has Gerry registered on the Gov. Adoption website in case his siblings have been looking for him.
Does Gerry know about his half sisters. It looks as though they remained in Worcestershire
Where was Alice living between 1951 and 1997.
Note for Gerry: The only information on the death certificate for Alice would be what was actually known by whoever reported it. It might be worth getting this certificate from the GRO.

As already said, the notation NR230 on the 1939 Register means that she changed her name to Finch by Deed Poll.


She did not marry Finch , nor anyone else after 1950 - at least not in Scotland, Wales, or England.

Gerry

That was me, not Erika. I had started the post with a note to Erika.

Nameslessone

If she was using the name Finch at one time then she must have used that on documents she filled in which is why it’s been picked up and added on the 1939 register
Doesnt mean she actually married a Finch but she was known as for a time

The annotation on the 1939 isn’t a marriage date but the date they were did the name change

The register doesn’t give marriage or death dates only the birth date as part of the original record

Thank you Erica. Nice of you to say so.

Erika - she died in 1997, Bournemouth.

Gerry, thank you for telling us about your health issues. Don’t be afraid to ask for explanations of anything that has been posted.

At the moment it looks as though Alice may not have actually married Finch. Although it is possible they married outside of England and Wales. Unless someone can find her on the old Electoral Rolls we might not be able to find anything more.

When did she die?
Who registered the death?
What was her last address?

my father married again
