I cant find any record of Annies death in the 4th qtr of 1971 nor can I find her in the 1901 census. ( I have found her birth in 1892).
What am I doing wrong ? why / how are you finding the death and census results and I am not?? Help/advise please.
Thanks
Gill

Thanks everyone for your help. I am going to look into 1971 deaths for Annie as this seems likely. I really want to know more about Annie, Her husband (my grandad) and her children (my aunts 7 uncles) so I am going to order my mums birth certificate. Due to postal strike, this could be a while.
Once again, your help is greatly appreciated.

Just a thought, Gillian, do you have your mum's birth certificate? It would have her father's name on it. If we could find her parent's marriage certificate it would have Annie's father's name.

Help please. My grandma, Annie Mann nee Fowkes lived in Leicester and died around 1972 aged 79 (i think) that makes her year of birth 1893 ish. I cannot find her anywhere on this site???? I know nothing about my mothers side of the family( Annie was my mums mum) and would love to find out more.
Any tips gratefully received or if anyone thinks they have info on Annie or her family? Thanks.
