Hi
Hope someone can assist!
Looking for an obit or such like for my Great Aunt Winifred (Aunty Win).
She lived in Barrow Walk last time we heard anything about her.
I assume she's dead as she would be about 110 now. Last we saw her was at my Gran's (her sister's) funeral which was in *about* 1993/4/5.
I know vague, but...!

If it helps my grans name was Evelyn Millington (obviously nee May)
Oh; Win had a son, Brian.

Thanks!

Sarah

the only possible deaths i can find are

winifred clara howard b. 29.9.1908 died nov 1998 age 90 bham

or iris winifred howard b. 16.6.1904 died dec 1998 age 94 bham

perhaps someone could search at the bham library for obits on these dates to see if either is your great aunt, or if you know her date of birth you could match with that.

Sadly i have no clue as to her birthdate.
My gran was 42 when she had my dad (his sister is 21 years older than him), so it is as if we've 'skipped' a generation, and there is no-one to ask about this info.
I only know that Win was older than my gran (who was born in 1907)
 
i had a look at evelyns birth and found it was in alcester warwickshire.

the iris winifred mays birth in 1904 was also in alcester so this could be the one you want and she died dec 1998 aged 94 yrs in bham.

Thanks!
As i have no paperwork on Win, it could well be that Iris was her 'first' name.
