My pleasure........

Yes, jackpot. That looks very much like it was my uncle Ron. Very many thanks, I'll see if I can take it from here. Have been looking up Graham C Powell on the telephone directory system. Again, many thanks Reggie.

Age at Death: 74
Registration district: Dudley

As he died later than Dorothy, the odds are that their son registered the death.

His address at the time may lead you in the right direction..............

Yep, that sounds more like her. Thanks Reggie very much!

This looks more probable, in view of your comments...and the qtr of registration of her birth

England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2006

Birth Date: 16 Aug 1921
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1980

Is this Dorothy's birth?

Births Sep 1921 (>99%)
Churchill Dorothy J Wilkinson Dudley 6b 2057

The death I posted was not proven.....I did say 'if' when I posted it

Do you know about freebmd?

Yep, I know she was quite old when she had Graham. Bit of a surprise I think. Don't understand the Edward Robert bit, maybe he just liked to be called Ron?
Also find it strange about Dorothy's death. I thought she died long before that of cancer - 1980's or so.

I'm new to this game/site thus was thrown by the comment 'not related to you and not your husbands first wife'. But thanks everyone for the info and comments - what a great team!

So they were married 17 years before they had a child?

You said his dads name was Ron....which does not tie in with the death found

His father?

England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2006

IF this was Graham's mother, and he registered her death, you'll have an address for him

England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2006

Name: Dorothy Jane Powell

That helps a lot as your previous info. led us to believe we were looking for a Graham born in Dudley district with a father called Ron. Looks like he was actually Edward.

Ok - thanks for the help ... and some strange comments?!
Got more info now and a DOB. His mum was Dorothy Churchill. My Auntie!!

What was Dorothy's maiden name?

Rose

Am trying to contact the Graham Powell born 1955 on GR but think this is a bit to early - seem to think he was born closer to 1960. I have a birthdate of 4th May but not which year. They were living in Wordsley at the time of his birth.

I can see a birth for a Graham J Powell in 1955 in Dudley, but cannot see a marriage to match the surnames given.
Have you any more information at all?
Thank-you

Added:
Graham Powell born in 1955 in Dudley is in someone's tree on here.

You need to find accurate birth info for him

What was Dorothy's maiden name?

Look in 'search all trees' under the 'search' button for possible links on GR

Otherwise.....try www.192.com

Who registered the deaths of his parents?

Trying to find my cousin, Graham Powell. His mum was Dorothy and dad was Ron. Would be about 55 years old and came from the Wordsley, West Midlands area. Long time no see ... about 50 years. Heather, formerly Churchill.
