Oh, jolly good Amanda.

That way, on here, the three of us can work together.

That death certainly seems to fit....That Care Home is in Seaforth.

Seaforth is a district in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton, Merseyside

Amanda

It seems to me that both Nyx and i are sending you PM's backwards and forwards.

I don't know what messages Nyx is sending to you.......anymore than Nxy knows what messages i am sending.

To avoid confusion........i think it would be far better to post on here, rather then send us both PM's

PricklyHolly that would possibly tie in with an eroll entry that I Pmd to Amanda, which ended around that time. Lots of info and possible contacts to be considered.

Good luck Amanda :-)

sending a PM with the last eroll address for Georgina Malgassian nee Pownall and one for their daughter, might be worth trying to make contact and ask about the family?

What is a bit odd is that on the 1939 Margaret Armstrong/Pownall is showing which would indicate she died before 1991 ( when the register was last used) or her death after that has been cross checked, there is no update of her name to Earley or anything else, which I would expect to see?

Thank you for your messages.

Spooky indeed Amanda.......

Are you looking for Margaret's death?

If so......Who did Margaret marry??

Did she marry under the surname of Pownall??

Or did she marry under the surname of her stepfather Armstrong??

When and where did the marriage take place??
