Find Living Relatives

I am trying to trace Jeanette Goddard, this is her maiden name. her mother Betty Goddard lived in Ramsgate, Kent with my Grandfather Leonard Wilkins Redsell. He died some years ago, I don't know if she is still alive as Im not sure of her age, I think she could be in her 60's

Thank you

have you looked on FreeBMD to identify her birth it may help your search to have her age . you can then try to see if she married

took a quick look and not seeing a birth for her.

could one of them have been the informant on his death cert?

Name: Leonard Wilkins Redsell
Birth Date: 26 Jul 1897
Date of Registration: Dec 1974
Age at Death: 77
Registration district: Thanet
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 16
Page: 1871

Was she Betty or Elizabeth?

Look on old electoral rolls for his address to see who else was there. This will confirm names and middle initials.

Leonard was born 1897 but Betty would probably have been younger to have a child now in her 60s (that is born after 1940) or Jeanette could be older

could Betty have been Neva Elizabeth Goddard?

Name: Neva Elizabeth Goddard
Birth Date: 13 May 1905
Date of Registration: Dec 1976
Age at Death: 71
Registration district: Thanet
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 16
Page: 1834

Marriages Sep 1927
ELDRED Neva E GODDARD Watford 3a 2433
Goddard Arthur H Eldred Watford 3a 2433

but their children were born 1929-1938 and no Jeanette or J


maybe

Name: Eidth Elizabeth Goddard (should be Edith)
Birth Date: 24 Dec 1905
Date of Registration: Mar 1980
Age at Death: 74
Registration district: Thanet
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 16
Page: 1921

there are unfortunately too many marriages of an Edith E to a Goddard say 1925-1945 (18) to check easily for births, but you could try that tack by finding the marriages at freebmd and then searching for births with the two parents surnames

here's a guess though

Births Mar 1906 (birth late Dec 1905 registered January 1906)
Mellish Edith Elizabeth Lambeth 1d 352

married Goddard 1926

but 4 possible children, 2 girls, no Jeanette or J ... so probably it's the right Edith E but isn't your Betty

Possible spelling as,

Janette.? which there are many.

Thank you everyone for your help.

Walter it would really be worthwhile to get Leonard's death certificate if you don't have it

if Betty was the informant of death, it should give you her proper name for sure

how come when I search Electoral rolls I cant find a thing, am I doing this right. and.....how do I get hold of a death cert

Certificates from here:

Was her name definitely Jeanette (How did you find out)?
How did you work out her approximate age?

Thank-you

Historical ER won't be on line. Once you have the DC you'll have to contact or visit the nearest Library/Archive to search for the address.

The ER are likely to be held at Margate
