Hi I am looking for any family members of Eleanor Davison, She was my Dads Mother, my dad is now 91yrs old and I would love to find out what happened to her before its too late.She left my father around 1926-1928 and he never saw her again.Her sisters worked in London and Portsmouth so its possible she went there.Eleanor was called Nelly or Nellie by her family, she was born 3rd September 1901, her mother was Elizabeth Taylor Davison and her father was James Davison.Her sisters were Elizabeth
(Betty) Francis May, Margaret(Maude) and Doris her brothers were James and John. They were all born in Newcastle.She married Edward Robson in 1923 and my dad is (*) born 1924.

This looks like the birth registration, which could happen the month after the event.
Eleanor Davison Birth Registration
Oct-Nov-Dec1901 Volume10B - Page15
Newcastle Upon Tyne Northumberland
How sure are you on the date of birth. There are two death registration, one in Sunderland but the DOB is 5 April 1901 but I wondered if the one below might be likely?
Eleanor Robson Death Registration
Oct-Nov-Dec1987 Volume 2 Page 229
Gateshead, Durham Birth Date 29 Nov 1901
Or this burial?
Eleanor Robson Burial 1930
Death Date 17 Oct 1930 Affiliate Record Identifier 103512934
All Saints Cemetery Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear
However she may have remarried or decided to use another name?

Hi Colin, that is what is on her birth certificate.There are a few possibilities of changing her surname remarrying as you say or even emigrating ? I have tried posting on ancestry before looking for her sisters family and got one possible lead from a lady in Cheshire who was doing some research on behalf of her mother in law (i think), but never got a reply after asking questions, after a few messages????
It's a bit like a needle in a haystack and I've been trying for quite a few years now, I was thinking about paying and agency ?
Thanks for the reply.

Her siblings appear to be:
Frances May (birth Jul/Aug/Sep 1899 Gateshead)
Margaret Hodgson (birth OCt/Nov/Dec 1903 Newcastle)
James (birth probably Ap/May/Jun 1896 Newcastle)
John (several possible births)
Elizabeth Taylor (bn Ap/May/Jun 1910 Newcastle)

Following Margaret to start with - this could well be her death:
June 1981
Chippenham
ref 23 1703
Margaret Hodgson Twidale
age 77
Marriage
Ap/May/Jun 1929
Aylesbury
ref 3a 2308
Margaret H Davison / George W T Twidale
Birth indexes show two Twidale births with mums maiden name Davison in 1930 and 1932, so likely to be of this couple. MAy still be alive so cannot post full details.

Thank You Liz, That definitely seam to be her sister, I'm sure my dad said her husbands name was George.Is there any possible way to pass on the children names ?
Elizabeth Taylor (the daughter) married Peter Bates, I think, I need to get all of my records out, I just thought I would do a post and not receive such quick responses.
Thank you

Tracy, now you have sent three posts you are able to use the Rootschat private messaging system.
if you click on the circle with the diagram of writing in it under lizdb's name, you will be able to send her a personal message and she may be able to reply with the names she's found.
By the way, if the circle is green, it means the person is online. I see lizdb isn't on line just at the moment.

Thats great, Thank you

Better still Tracyhalpin, you can look up yourself at www.freebmd.org.uk
Just put in 'birth', surname 'Twidale' and mothers maiden name 'Davison'.
You can then use the same site to find marriages for these people. And then for children of those marriages! You have then traced a current generation - and can use other means (facebook, friends reunited, phone books, etc) to try and find them and make contact.

Great !!! thanks
