Im trying to find out the date my gt aunt died, i know it was in the 60s but not what date, she died in south wales, her name was Maire Ellis Nee Roberts, also would it have been in the papers abt her death as it was a suicide.

thanks Karen

Do you know how old she was?

Karen

Karen Report 1 Nov 2008 14:17

had a quick look through death index from 1967 - 1969 and didn't find anything

Thanks for looking for me, my nan always said she died in the 60s but nothing else was said abt her, back to the drawing board.

thanks Karen

Not 1966

Will keep going back

Justine

Justine Report 1 Nov 2008 14:38

I'll start at 1961 and go forwards. Could she have had another christian name?

Janice

Janice Report 1 Nov 2008 14:41

Not 63,64 or 65

Justine

Justine Report 1 Nov 2008 14:44

couldn't find in 61 or 62 either - hope I haven't missed it. Is "Maire" the right spelling??

Janice

Janice Report 1 Nov 2008 14:44

Tried 1970 but not there.

Karen, if your nan was wrong about the date would it be in the 50s or 70s do you think?

Janice

Janice Report 1 Nov 2008 14:45

I went to school in Wales with girls called Mair but there was nothing close in the years I searched.

Karen

Karen Report 1 Nov 2008 14:47

Maire is the right spelling, im not sure, i dont think it would have been the 50s, unfortunately my nan died 22 yrs ago so cant get hold of any other info

Janice Report 1 Nov 2008 14:48

OK will work forwards then.

Justine

Justine Report 1 Nov 2008 14:48

Do you have her birth cert?? What was her date of birth. I've been trying to find the birth entry with no luck either.

Janice

Janice Report 1 Nov 2008 14:53

nothing to 73 inclusive

Karen

Karen Report 1 Nov 2008 14:54

Her birth was J/F/M 1913, 11a 1505, just had a word with my dad and her sister also commited suicide in the 60s in the same place, her name was Gladys Thomas,

regards Karen

Karen

Karen Report 1 Nov 2008 14:56

Gladys was born 1915

Janice

Janice Report 1 Nov 2008 14:59

nothing to 76

Janice

Janice Report 1 Nov 2008 15:03

Think this is it:

Mair Ellis dob 11/12/1912 (so reg'd in next qtr)

Merthyr Tydfil 27 0011
JAS 1977

so in HER 60s not THE 60s

Justine
