Bishop-Bray

My grand mother was Agnes Williams nee Bishop b 1894 d 1954
Her parents: Edmund Bishop 1860-1949 & Annie Bray 1865-1948
Annie's Brother Thomas Bray 1877-1962
In later years, 1940's Edmund, Annie & Tom lived at 47,Third Avenue, Bordesley Green.
Now this looks all right except it doesn't quite fit my childhood memory.
I'm so sure that around 1945 Annie was living at No.47 with her brother, no Edmund.
So dates of death could be wrong, they could have been separated, he may have been ill, I could even be wrong, it has been known!
Can anyone throw light on this.
Thanks, Jim.
 
I think your dates are all correct. The 3 appear to be there on the 1945 ER, the next available on Ancestry is 1950.

Your only option maybe to check the ERs for the intervening years at the Library to see when each stopped being listed.

Memory is a funny thing. Maybe you visited one time and Edmund was just out and over the years you've remembered it slightly differently.
