Gilbert Chellingworth is my father (died 1975) who had me and my brother by our mother who was also his sister in law. It seems he was following his mother's actions! Where do I find the link between Ernest Jones and Ediths grandfather William (?).

Yes that's right as far as we can see. The link is only through DNA. It seems that Phillip also may have been grandfather to a cousin in Australia, but nothing proved, other than the assumptions we have made. Albert Edward Steels appears as father on Edith's birth certificate in 1895 as the...

Long delay, with significant developments! Thanks for the info about Phillip, who may have been my grandfather. I have discovered now 3 living siblings, all of whom I have spoken with. Does anyone have any info on either Emily or Edith Chellingworth and their spouses? An Albert Steels appears on...

Anyone any info about the family of Phillip Maurice Yellowitz? Ancestry DNA seems to link them to me somehow.

Hello again Janice. Surprise surprise! I had a phone conversation with the real Sheila Irene Dutton, now Sheila Jones, who is now 83 and living in Bromsgrove! Opened up a whole new thread to follow. Started from my DNA check with Ancestry. I will let BHF know if anything significant comes up of...

Thank you Janice. I have a copy of the birth certificate for Sheila which states she was born on 28 Dec 39. It maybe you are right about it being the wrong person in Falkirk. Where did you find the record above? John

Back again! I have found that Sheila died in Falkirk Scotland in 2011. Also found a couple of 1st cousins in the Birmingham area, via Ancestry DNA. Anyone have any info regarding Lisa Phillips - parents Maurice and Sandra Philips, or Sheila Jones - mother Evelyn Jones nee Chellingworth?

I now have the birth certificate for Sheila Irene Boyd. Born 28 Dec 1939 in Kings Norton. Registered on 27th Jan 1940. No records of her after that.

That is a good thought. Is there any way that I can find out any details of such an adoption if it exists. I knew my birth name and my adoptive name so it was straightforward. Thanks for the help

Anyone any info regarding Sheila I Boyd, Born 1940. Parents George S Boyd and Mollie Boyd

From Alberta's reply I think that Nora was the sister of Mollie, who got married to George Boyd in 1939. I believe they had a daughter named Sheila, but cant find the record. Also I dont know what happened to George. If this is the right connection, I think that possibly your wife and I may be...

where can I find the marriage record record or any record for Mollie pre 1939?

Living relatives. I think Mollie was my mother!

Trying to find family of Mollie Boyd ne Dutton c 1949
