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.

She was in a nursing home.

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

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.

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.

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

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

FINCH, REGINALD CHARLES mmn DAVIS

Harold Finch dob2/5/1907 died in Bournemouth 2nd. Quarter 1994

District 4271A Registrr no. A5D entry 94.

Added: looks like a lot of cross posting

Added: can’t see a will
