The picture might be 1920's then no later.

Do you have an Elsie Oxborough in your family?

Born Northampton, 2Q 1911, 3b 51

Elise does not ring a bell.But might be possible.

I've looked right upto 1925....no Hazel Oxborough

1906 Q1
Fellenofellerr Beatrice Louise Cardiff 11a 411

Hi Sue Thanks this is my mum's mother.
Fellenore Beatrice Louise Cardiff Beatrice had a sister but cant remember her name?

Hi Julian

If you notice the surname it is spelt differently so think you should order this cert as can not find another FELLENOFELLERR on census's or births.

Maybe this is the sister

Name: Elsie May Fellenor
Year of Registration: 1903
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep

Sue

Hi Sue,
Fellenor is the correct spelling.I came accoss a card in a box mum had and it was to do with a service in memory of Elsie May Fellenor.I cant seam to find it again but i think the year of her passing was 1935.You have been wonderfull because i have spent hours trying to search the records for a Elsie May Fellenor.it might be her sister but not certain at this time.Beatrice Louise was born in Cardiff West Glamorgan on January 1st 1906.I have a look again for the card but might have lost it when i had sold the house and moved last year.Julian

Hi Julian

I would order one of the certs to find out the parents names as i can't find a Fellenor on the 1901 census.There are only a couple of Fellenor births two in Bristol 1900 ,1901 then Elsie then one in 1924

Sue

Sue
How do you go about ordering the the certs.Iunderstand you can get in tonch with the GRO.Also if i do order a cert which i would like to do.What details do i need to give?

On my family tree i added my mum last surname,her married name was Oxborough.She was born Dorothy Mcvey so do i need to put my mum's maiden name or married on the tree?I

Hi Julian

You need to put your Mum's maiden name on the tree.Also you can order the certs on line
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
the information that you need is what i have given with the district volume no and page no and Quarter that they were born in.
Good luck.Have a great xmas.

Sue

Thanks Sue for the link.I was told having my mum's married nme not maiden name would makes things difficult and why i thought i asked.

Have a good christmas Julian xx

A Big thanks to Wayne and everyone else for the time taken and for being understanding in the help of supplying information.Thankyou Julian
