The McNabb family

Hi all!! My great Grandmother Ellen McNabb lived in Birmingham with her siblings Hubert McNabb, Willliam “Bill” McNabb, Leo McNabb, and her mother Sarah Jane Cullen and father William-George McNabb. From records I found through ancestry, I know Hubert was married to a woman named Lily and they did not have any children together. I can confirm through my Aunt that Bill was married and had 3 daughters named Julie, Pris, and May. However I cannot find the name of his wife. Now Leo, per my Aunt he was a bachelor and she’s not sure he ever married. Through the ancestry registered Electors, he is listed with a Sadie McNabb and a George McNabb. I have record that Sadie passed in 1964 but no other info on Leo to see if he had any children, on this George McNabb that he lived with, and on Bill’s wife and 3 daughters. I’ve researched extensively and I’m just looking for some help. My great grandma Ellen came to the states in the 40s with my grandfather after the war and unfortunately couldn’t keep contact with everyone. Im just looking to see if there is anyone left from her side of the family. Also an address of theirs that I have, Ellen, her son William, Leo, Sadie, and George all have lived at 73 Cox Street West, Balsal Heath, Warwickshire, England. Any and all help is very much appreciated!

Julia - do you know if William continued to live in Birmingham or not? Also an approximate birth date might help. Thanks

Hubert, William and Leo are in an orphanage in Liverpool in 1939. Sadie/Sarah is in Bham at the Cox St West address with a John McHale. He remains there into the 1960s.

Yes- I spotted that on the 1939 reg.
Do you think Sadie is Sarah?
