Yes Gritty,

Sylvia Maureen Emma Bell ..... although on her birth index its Sylvia E Bell ... got those addresses also, thanks !

Gritty

Gritty Report 7 May 2015 09:04

Just another thing- when Sylvia married, her name in the indexes is listed as

Sylvia M E Bell

Gritty

I'm just sorting them now- will pm them to you in a minute :-)

Edit: Have sent them.

How weird that she sent that message on your birthday? and how disappointing the e-mail address is not still active. If I see anything else I'll let you know.

Sorry for the delay in answering , I'm from Australia , so quite a big time difference !!!!
I had no idea she had another 3 sons !!!
Have tried the email address posted on the link from 7 March 2005 , but it is no longer active ....
What is really weird, is that I was born 7th March , this has me asking the question " Who am I really ? "

If you could message me some possible addressed Gritty , that would be wonderful !!

Thank you all so much for your help and suggestions !!! :-)

She could be in Australia under a different name

Gritty

Gritty Report 6 May 2015 17:16

There are a few possibilities to explore- also a marriage of Sylvia E Craven to surname Sanders in 1987 Colchester (and would be about correct age according to electoral register).

I think all these avenues are worth the time to explore.

The same Sylvia is on the ER to 2014.

there is a male Craven at the same address


There is also another Sylvia E Craven who moves between Winchester and Sheffield...again with a male Craven at the addresses.

There's no way of knowing if her surname is still Craven

If you want me send possible addresses for Sylvia in England let me know. Have you also tried the e-mail address from this? (It was posted 2005, so may no longer be valid):

"I am looking for my daughter Michelle Craven, in Australia last known to be living in Perth, fathers name Michael, brothers names, David, joeseph and Michael.
Michelle was born in Bradford, United Kingdom". 07 Mar 2005
http://www.genealogyforum.com/messages/genbbs.cgi/New?printthread=27302

Have you traced David, Joseph or Michael?

"Michelle thought to be living in Perth Australia Moved to NSW Australia your mum is looking for you." 02 Dec 2005
http://www.genealogyforum.com/messages/genbbs.cgi/New/31447

I don't know a lot about e-mail- however, ntlworld strikes me as a more British, rather than Australian, address- although I may be wrong?

I have no idea Gritty , but she is not on the electoral register here in Victoria, Australia. So its very possible she has returned to England

Gritty

Gritty Report 6 May 2015 15:36

Did Sylvia have family still in Bradford? Is it possible she returned to England? I haven't looked into it, but there was a Sylvia E Craven listed on the Bradford 2002 electoral register.

Gritty, Ive tried to log in to ozpeople trace with no luck .. I think the site is pretty much spam !

Good luck

Sylvia is my birth mother Jacqueline ,
I have never met any of the family including my mother.
I found the whereabouts of one brother, Thomas, who lived in Australia, but he passed away in 2010.
I'm assuming she is still in Australia.

I misread the info thought they came back in Jan 1966 not went to Australia

SO you need someone with Australia records to help

Jacqueline

Jacqueline Report 6 May 2015 15:23

So the family are estranged, obviously

Gritty

Gritty Report 6 May 2015 15:21

No idea if this related- but came up on a google search:

"Craven, Michelle, Born in Bradford UK, lived in the Rockingham area of Perth, may well be married now if so, married surname not known. Your mother Sylvia Emma Craven is looking for you"

The family WENT to Australia in 1966............

Could you clarify where you think they are now.............

and what have you done to try to find them?

what about all Sylvia's brothers?

Don't they know where she is?

Gesinta Report 6 May 2015 15:09
