Granny Annie Chambers

Our family have been searching for years for our Grannie, Annie Chambers, we have never been able to find a birth for her, and although we knew she died round about 1913 when our dad was a nipper, we have never been able to find her.

My sister Pam who lives in Canada decided to think "outside the box" and started looking for similar names, Pam found a lady named Hannah Matilda Chambers born in 1866, which is the correct date, and a Hannah M W**** died in 1913 in Brum.

I sent for the death cert, and it is the correct lady, she died of a pulmonary embolism, and our grandad is the person who registered the death, they were living at 10 Howard Street.

Never, ever, give up. :)
 
Majic Barrie so pleased for you. I must start with the Lyndon family as my cousin has gone back to 17 something with the Taplins. Have still the info you gave me re the 2 Georges and have found one original death certificate. Bye. Jean.
 
That's great news barry. I have found death certificates very interesting as they give address and the informant is often a family member. I am sure your story will inspire others to keep searching.:)
