I mentioned earlier that Dora died in 2003. I didn’t go through that Ancestry tree to find everyone else.

Melanie, people here have come up with a lot of information and, as you mention, there are trees with your Grandmother on so I guess you have had a good look at them and compared each with the other.

In your first posting here you said you were looking for your Aunt Dora and the person you called Grandad Grantham. Do you mean where they are now, whether they are still alive or where they lived in a particular year?

Surnames and dates or approximate dates would help everyone to help you.

If you want to know where they are now in order to contact them I doubt whether their current addresses would appear to the public anywhere unless in phone books and electoral registers (surnames essential) but not yet with anything for 2022 I fear.

You could search the internet for BT Phone Directory to see if they are in it.

Good luck.

I wasn’t being rude by suggesting you learn how to use freebmd. It is a free website and you can find out a lot once you’ve got the hang of it.

It is also a good source if you wish to buy certificates from the GRO as it gives you the details you would need.

I don't see anyone being rude Melanie, just confused by lack of vital information when trying to help.
Sorry, I just can't make sense of your post.

Oh and yes my nanny Joyce died 30th August 1980
My mother died 2nd November 1999
My father died 20th February 2014 for days before his 76th birthday was heartbreaking. But thank you

Hi thank you joy Louise for your kindness,others seem so rude but thank you for those who have helped,and no I don't come on here often , yes my nanny was Joyce Ruth Margaret barker, my mum was called Rosemary Joyce, my mum did married before my dad to a block was BIRD married My dad had 2 children ,but unfortunately my parents Neville and Rosemary devorviced when I was about 13 ,was a very sad time for me but carried on and lived with my dad , I know my mum and sad married about 3rd or 6th April don't know year, but yes there are 2 families of rouse no relation ,aunt Dora and Grantham was from Norfolk Sheringham way as I said and Shirley rouse is from my mums best from who live in scarning Norfolk she was into horses had a lively farm ,Jean and reggie was my god parents! Sorry for the confusion .....I would just love to get incontact with my family , Dora was my nanny JOYCE RUTH MARGARET S SISTER ., ive also learnt where my nanny and grandad married and what year as I've never known this yes my Nanny is buried with my grandad at denton Church where as her mother and father Dora and John tubby is and my nanny's grandparents are also levi and Emma tubby also my nanny's brother lesley who we knew as Ben winter is buried too,thank to to all those whose helped me mean alot thank you sorry if my first message sounds gobbley good it was just didn't know how to put it all in writing actually but thanks those for your help ,I much appreciate all the know about my mother and father and my nanny's side of the family, I also know they moved to denton ROSE COTTAGE the moved to MOATSIDE WESTHALL .

It is indeed but all quite confusing as he other thread is looking for Shirley Rouse and the two seem to merge.

I'm guessing Melanie doesn't use either tool as the information is all there.

The first line of this request is for Aunt Dora. One of the ancestry trees has her dying in 2003 in Norfolk.

Melanie needs to learn how to use Freebmd or take out an Ancestry sub. One of the tree owners may actually be related.

Well done Names. Neville Goddard appears to be Rosemary's second husband. That doesn't get us any closer to Shirley Rouse though - except for sending her a message via 'members trees'. Square one LOL

The other thread:

Melanie says her 'nanny' was Joyce Barker : could this be her burial

ah an inactive member. She should know to revisit the thread then. Ah yes, so possibly in her late 60s then. Maybe she could re-visit her post, read it and break it up a bit. Yes I saw that you were helping. Actually nice to have somebody ask for help for a change isn't it?

I am trying to help Ann but the names just don't go together.
I have given Melanie a pointer on the other thread.

I've spent some time today trying to marry names together with no results.

The lady who Melanie is looking for seems to have been born around 1955 so unless Shirley was a much older friend I'm not sure that Melanie would be a youngster.

A ninGlos. Whilst Melanie hadn’t posted very much she has been a member since 2007.

Good idea Joy. How did you find a possible death in 2014? Surname?
I've tried various permutations of the given names but get 'no results'.
There are routes to follow from the members trees.


Goddard/Bird? 1965. :-S

I think Melanie is possibly new to genealogy and excited at the thought of finding her family. and what is 'all over the place' to us is just how they talk on line. she just needs a kind person to put a specific question though like JoyLouise has done then maybe some of our kind people can help her. <3
