Has any one any idea,s as to how i can find if a close relative is still alive or not they were born in 1922.. Thanks in Advance..

You should be able to find out if they died between 1984 and 2002 by looking on Ancestry. Christine

You could try 1837online or Family Relatives and look for a death up to 2003 (you might need the DoB to narrow your search. Try the electral rolls for living rellies. Theres not mich else you can do unless you can locate one of there children and ask them how mum/dad is/are.

Thanks Christine but i don,t have Ancestry Membership..

Hi, Just wondered if you had access to Ancestry - give me a shout if you want me to have a look if not. Helen x

Oh didn't see your last reply! Let me have the name of the person and the county of death (if possible) and I'll have a look

Helen thanks for your kind offer! Name of person Catherine Henelly DOB 1922 Liverpool no addy not seen since 1945 but was known to have been in Liverpool..

Hi, Only getting one on Ancestry, but she's Mary Catherine Henelly. She died in Feb 1987 in the district of Liverpool but she was born in 1906. Maybe connected to this person somehow though? Is Henelly her married name?

No Helen it was Hutchinson..

I recently found someone `s death -2000 on IGI . Rosalyn

How badly do you want to find this person, the General Register Office provides a service called Traceline. Go to their website, click on Research, on right hand side of screen you will see Traceline listed, follow the links, it now costs £30.00 + extra for forwarding letter service should you require. We found a missing relative through this service some while ago, Good luck with your search Sue

There's a few coming up, but none born 1922 - saying that though, whoever registered her death could have got it a bit out (not uncommon!) Catherine Hutchinson, Aug 1988, born 27 Feb 1921, death registed, Halifax, West Yorkshire Catherine Hutchinson, Aug 1993, born 5 May 1921, death registered, Gateshead, Tyne And Wear Catherine Hutchinson, Mar 1995, born 5 Apr 1925, death registered, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire Catherine Foster Hutchinson, Mar 1999, born 14 Oct 1920, death registered, Northumberland Centra,l Northumberland These four come closest but none are Liverpool area, obviously she could have moved, moved abroad even or remarried. I'll have a think to see if I can think of anything else! Hope it helps a bit! Helen x

Thanks ever so much for looking for me Helen i know i hav,nt much to go on.. Birthday 28th of april.. 1922..

Those above are ruled out then! Ancestry only has deaths from 1984-2002. Maybe Catherine died before then? I can't think what else to suggest, other than what the others have already said. I think this will be a bit tricky. The only other thing I can think is to post a message on the 'trying to find board' in the hope someone who knows/knew her sees it. I've realised I've been taking as if she has died - she could well be alive couldn't she? After all 83 isn't an unusal age to still be here so to speak. Good luck anyway, let us know the outcome.

Thanks once more Helen and if i ever do find out i will let you know .. Moon Hare xxx

If she's still alive you could try 192 * com* I found a missing cousin there. Remove asterisks and inserts dots.

Thanks a lot Jill for the info June xx
