Find Living Relatives

Hello to all and thanks for reading

I am trying to find the descendants of Ernest Edwin Collis and Winifred Violet Louisa Inwood nee Frier. Children were Ernest, Frederick, Peter and Julia. Last known area was 1930s Cheshunt area of Hertfordshire.

Would like to know what happened to my Dad's cousins.

Thanks

Linda

Have you tried the search trees?

Hi

Yes - but nothing concrete - hence this request - Dad was looking for these cousins since the mid 50s and I have been looking for years - no one seems to have known of them or heard of them - I have even contact local papers and Dad went to last known address before he passed away

Thanks

COLLIS Ernest Edward Chelmsford 4a 411

would think this is his death

Name: Ernest E Collis
Birth Date: abt 1887
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1955
Age at Death: 68
Registration district: Chelmsford
Inferred County: Essex
Volume: 4a
Page: 573

The Ernest E Collis Birth c 1887 looks correct - would need to get a copy of certificate to see who registered his sad passing.

thank you

I have pm'd another death of an Ernest E Collis which could be the one you are looking for. died 1960 in Ware Hertfordshire

If you had mentioned that Collis was not his birth name then I would not have gone with that one.

Anyway see what you think before you purchase the chelmsford one

jax

Thank you - the Ware one fits his birth as he was born Ernest E Chamberlain in May 1890
