Hi Jan

I didn't know that either, but on Heir Hunters this week they got a recent death cert by going to the local office. Can you do it online?

Margaret

fingers crossed for you:)

Well, still no joy. However I have found out recently (thanks to Shirley, Andrew and InspectorGreenPen) that you can order recent death certs without the date of death/registration! DOH. Never realised that even after all this time.

There is a brother (who did marry, again no offspring as far as I can see) who died in 1995, so have sent for the death cert.

Fingers crossed again!

That might be the case Jan. Wait and see. Keep us informed.

Still looking here every day:) hope you get some news soon.

Good luck Jan, keeping trying.

Hello everyone, especially Cheryl for keeping an eye on me! Not a thing as yet I am afraid. Starting to think this lady might no longer be with us. Have a couple more angles to try, as soon as I find anything out I shall be back!
Best wishes
Jan

Jan,
I have been checking daily. I do hope you hear soon.
The delay is probably due to her family checking out the info you have given to her to make sure you are above board.
She is probably just being cautious. You can't be too careful these days.

Fingers crossed for a good outcome.

Jan, wish you all the best. I sent such a letter to dad's relly a couple of years ago. The old lady was thrilled to bits, knew nothing about our side of the family, was delighted to know. But I sent the message to get a rellie to check it out first, and her daughter did, and now I am in touch with the daughter too! I hope your quest turns out well.

Margaret

Well, all being well the letter should arrive Monday, if not already there. I'm not holding my breath, but you never know do you?
Good to hear your story MEgirl.
Thanks again for the support.

Good luck Jan..

Hi Jan, Found my father's cousin on here. He has just turned 87 and has some health issues. Although, very tentative at first, we have exchanged some photos and I think he enjoys my phone calls. I can see resemblance and it's almost like having my dad back. Softly, softly is the approach I believe.

I hope it is a wonderful experience for both of you and I wish you all the best.

Good luck.

Thanks!

:)) good luck.

fingers crossed.

good luck!

Posted letter - help! A bit scared now.

That's very nice of you Meg.
Yes, it is sad, but on the positive side we (as in my 2nd cousins and myself) have basically glued the Powells back together! We are all in touch bar Philip's descendants. I am visiting family up North next week, having met them a couple of months ago when they came to us, plus there is a big family reunion in Canada in July!
I have my letter all ready to post. It would be fantastic to share all I have with this lady so I really hope she gets in touch.
Regards
Jan
