Find Ancestors

Hi would anyone have access to this period & be willing to look up a name for me to help solve a mystery of the name of a daughter of an ancestor. Thank you

Those wont be online , they would be held in the main library for the area.

Plus they arent searchable by name but only by address

Yep knew they weren't online, was hoping someone in the area may be doing a search for themselves & could help out.

Have you looked for the daughter's birth just using her parent's surnames and not giving any forename for her?

She was born in Australia, so birth details not available due to their different rules. But have tried looking for a marriage, death, nothing, even tried to see if p'haps she returned to Australia but nothing again, mum & her just seemed to disappear after dads death in 1960, thought electoral roll for early sixties may give me a hint on her full Christian name.

Have you got her father's death cert? If she registered the death, it might give her full name (maybe!!).
Also, have you checked to see if there is a probate record?

She'd have to have born 1949 or earlier to appear on the ER. Is that feasible? as you believe she was born in Australia, might she have been considered not to be eligible to vote? Not sure how that would work in the time frame.

If the father died in Brighton, then the DC would/should give his usual address. That would help trace the names of registered voters. Unless the mother was particularly frail or elderly, the surving spouse is usually the informant. You might be lucky & find it was the daughter.

She was born in 1939 so would have been 21 by 1960, Yes I have Death cert. wife is informant. Yes I have Fathers Will but he wrote it in 1939 (war will ) so only wife mentioned. the family returned to England in 1952, both her parents born in England. Yes I have the address in Hastings they were living at in 1960. It is why I hoped if a electoral roll for 1960.61/62 could be checked it would hopefully give me a full Christian name for the daughter so I had more info to search with.

If no one has volunteered off-board, then you might consider contacting the local archive for a 'Look-up'. They will probably make a charge

To check that they have a Register for the correct Ward, search the collection using the words
Electoral Register 1960.

If you aren't sure, the Archive should be able to tell you quite easily at no cost

Thank you for that info.
