The Common Room / Re: Death of Monica Leslie
« on: Today at 01:55 »
I'm very sorry to hear the news about Monica, so sad.  She has helped so many people over the years here on Rootschat, she will be missed.

My sincere condolences to her family.

Thank you Carole for letting us know.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: 1939 Register notations - Violet Kate Osborne
« on: Yesterday at 16:22 »
Birth dates were sometimes amended at a later time, possibly after registering with a new doctor or a hospital visit. There are other examples of this on the same page as your mother's 1939 entry.  It appears her birth date was amended on 8.2.1951 (EEP 8.2.51) from 31.8.25 to 31.4.20 - this makes no sense as there are only 30 days in April.  I am thinking this may have been a clerical error. As you know, your mother's birth was registered Sep Q 1925 (I had a quick check on FreeBMD).

The address on the post card, 69 St Paul's Terrace, York, is still standing.  It's on Rightmove House Price History.

Lovely natural restore, Peter, and Carol's colour version is beautiful.  Much better than anything AI could do.

Hastings and St Leonards Observer, 17 December 1949.

Maybe your father remembers this chap from his time living at Knoll Hurst, Basil John Bond.  You may see a familiar name in the article  ;)

Glamorgan Archives may be able to help.

Quote from their website below.
"Our volunteers have created an index to case notes for patients at the Asylum, covering the years 1864-1955. Due to the nature of this information access is restricted, contact staff for information and to request a search of the database."

Elizabeth Gibbs is not listed at Glamorgan County Lunatic Asylum in 1911, the patients are listed alphabetically as full names not just initials.  Also, there isn't anyone else there with the initials E.G. that matches up with the 1901 record found by Mabel. 

Maybe she died between 1901 and 1911 .
