My cousin was the daughter of Jessie Lockhart Ewing and Wilson Fidoe Cole and was born in Birmingham,England and may still be there.She would be in her 70's I think.

Thanks for any help,

Dorothy Buck (nee Capewell)

There seem to be 8 Cole/Ewing births in Birmingham, I assume these are her siblings? Do you know if she ever married?

I did miss the December response-sorry.

I have some details about Olwen but not knowing if she married, I'm stuck trying to find her alive (if she is).I do remember a couple of siblings were Donald and Ivor or Ivan.

Olwen's birth certificate had 'Adopted' stamped on it so I suspect that Jessie and Wilson gave her up for adoption shortly after birth.

If she was adopted then she would have a different surname than Cole

If you did'nt know her maybe a good idea to mention these things before hand along with the fact she had been adopted
