I think Jervis Terrace might still be there...

Could she not still be buried at St Joseph's and not listed or not listed correctly as was mentioned previously I think? Nicola Iommi lived on Booth St, though the other end. Here's a map from 1955 showing Jervis Terrace...

A few things. Firstly and simplest, the name of your great aunt who moved to Alaska was Georgina Kathleen Yafrati, one of Joseph's 5 sisters. Secondly, Samuel James and Polly Prince were half cousin. Pollie's mother appears to have been an elder illegitimate half sister of his before her...

The only other places I can think off would be the Library of Bham or the Catholic Archives at St Chad's but I'd doubt even those.

A lot of circumstantial evidence suggest it could be. As she has passed away, the op could request to have the entry unblanked. I don't think it costs anything to request this, so no loss if it isn't her.

On findmypast, Marjorie and Edna are unblanked.

And one last thing for tonight. It is possible that Thomas Bowen had a sister, Annie, who married an Arthur Clifford. Which would be the Clifford connection.

No, there's no inaccuracy of Bowen and Boden they are separate. Ethel Jane Bowen's father was Thomas Bowen and her mother was Ethel Jane Boden. The Iafrati/Yafrati error is a common type of error. Many people couldn't read or write so they would say there name and whoever was writing it down...

The family trees could be mostly correct. There is a birth for an Ethel Jane Bowen Jun qtr 1928 and a death for an Ethel Jane Bowen also Jun qtr 1928. The details for the older Ethel Jane are incorrect though. She was Ethel Jane Boden, born 1892. So a possibility but would need a little...

Not asking questions when you had the chance is a regret most people have when doing their family tree. Do you know your nan's date of birth? A lot of records are now available, your grandparents marriage certificate for example, which may give you more details.

Ok, a little more confusion though I might have read things wrong. Your parents, Lawrence and Ann appear to have married in the Bournemouth area not Harborne. Ann's parents both appear to have died there as well. Ethel death in 2009 is listed as Ethel Jane, not Ethel Sue, aged 81. On her...

A little confusing. Samuel James Sillitoe married Mary Ann (Polly) Prince 1920? They had 2 children - Edith Mary b1922 and Samuel James b1927. Samuel James (Jim) senior died in 1946, when young Samuel James (Jim) was 18 not 8. Samuel James snr's father, James, was the brother Mary Ann...

Your father in law seems fairly easy to trace, born in Gateshead which you probably already know. Your mother in law is a little more tricky, there are a number of trees on Ancestry that suggest that she was born Joyce Brown, the daughter of a Sophia Brown. Living on St Vincent on the 1939...

And are you looking for help in tracing her family tree or just connections to possible relatives?

Assuming that the Minnie Lloyd at Shirley Road in 1939 is the correct one and taking her given dob as correct I tried to find a birth reg. for her. However, there are no local ones and I wouldn't have any confidence in the ones further afield. With no future married name shown there is no...

There's Ana Miah listed at 221 Bracebridge St on the 1962 & 1965 ERs,

Appears to be a very military associated family. Father was in the army, all his brothers were as well, his father in law was and his eldest son was also... https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/166437779/anthony-charles-browne

Here's a photo of the Carnegie Institute just a couple of years later... https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205202892 The same photo was posted on here some years ago with a couple of others... https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/threads/carnegie-institute.43746/

The most likely candidate would seem to be the Minnie Lloyd, Lyn mentioned in post #8 but proving it might be difficult. It might be a case of one of the twins doing a dna test and hoping to get a match.

And as she's on 1935 ER, then she must have been born before 1915.
