Find Living Relatives

I wish people would do what it says in my 'researching' line !

click WATCH THIS when they start a thread

and THEN they will get email notices of replies to their posts

because otherwise they won't, although a lot of people think they will so they don't check for replies


meanwhile ...

I wonder whether Sybil and Walter emigrated to Canada to join a child there ?

because emigrating at their ages - in their late 60s - seems a little unusual otherwise

but they don't seem to have had children?


oh wait, one of her brothers was born in Canada

Have you tried to look for info about the children?

freebmd is an easy site to use to look for marriages followed by births and also deaths (up to around the mid-1960's)

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Thank you! I do know about the 9 children and have searched for them on trees nd contacted the tree hholders alreadyhowever I am still waiting on replies.
I posted the thread in hope that someone with search Beriah Bell as its an unusual name and then get in contact. I am finding it very hard to trace forward! Backwards I can do fine!!

Just for some idea of time frame:
Marriages Sep 1881
BELL Beriah Kingston 2a 474
Hamlin Mary Ann Kingston 2a 474

9 children born and living according to the 1911census.

Hi Louise assuming it is the same Beriah Bell, there are quite a lot of trees on here with him in, see 'search' at top right of page, click, then 'search trees'.

Hi
I am trying to find my grandads cousins that may still be alive today. He has no information on them unfortunatly!
Beriah and Mary would of been his grandparents. Gladys Bell and Leslie Thompson were his parents.
Was wondering if anyone out there also knows of Beriah and Mary and their other grand children!
Thank you for your time
Louise xx
