Find Ancestors

Many thanks to those who responded to my query on Alice Ethel Brien nee Box and the advice, much appreciated. Would still welcome any further info that may come to light. <3

You are welcome.

Just let us know on here if there is anything more you need on this family.

P.S. - I see that you have now marked my message above as answered - for future reference, NEVER use the silly 'tick as answered' thing which GR in their stupidity have put on here and which cannot now be removed.

This actually signifies that the whole query which you put up has been fully answered and that you need no further help (although they do not actually explain that!!) and people may not open the thread.

If you need further info, simply add a question to the thread and you may also wish to edit your title to say something like 'further help still needed' so that people will know that you need more info and not ignore the thread.

You are not alone - many people fall into the trap but you will now know not to in the future.

Just checked the birth & death of her son 'Robert' and it matches the above. Her birth date on her death record doesn't match the above. Maybe she didn't know her true DOB
