Lancashire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Manchester Mystery of surname link
« on: Monday 06 October 08 02:51 BST (UK)  »
Hello again, Kirsten. I have just typed a long reply only to find it's disappeared so here I go again, hopefully with better luck. This is Isabelle's  death notice:

Osborne - on June 8th at Honeyburn, Spath Road, Didsbury, Bell Sinclair, widow of George E. Osborne and daughter of late Sir William Sinclair of Manchester. Service at Manchester crematorium on  Wednesday June 11 at 10.30 am. In quiries to Kendal Milne & Co.

I have her mother's notice as well if you'd like it.

I have a lot of information about Sir William, some from the internet and some from Manchester.

His other family members were

Jane (my ggrandmother) b. 1839 (no official date yet); Angus b.1841 (no official date), Alexander b.Sept 30,1853.

As you are researching the Osborne side you may not want any more information on the Sinclairs but I have some more. Angus was well known in the US and can be found on line. Donald also went to the US.

It's lovely to be in touch and thanks for your prompt, informative replies.  Best wishes.

Margaret

Good to hear from you, Kirsten.

After I'd written I realised I had the report of the death of "Bell", daughter of Sir W J Sinclair. At her death her name was Osborne so I'm wondering if she was married twice or if maybe you have the wrong person. She died in Manchester in 1947. Perhaps this is why you hit a wall?
I look forward to hearing from you again.
Margaret

Hi Kirston
While I was looking for some relatives I came across your conversation back in 2006. I don't know if you're still interested in the topic but I have some information about Sir Wiliam Japp Sinclair and his family which you may have by now. I have been looking for descendants of Margaret and her sister Isabel, William and Margaret's daughters. Perhaps you know something of Isabel's if she and her husband had children. Isabel was my grandfather's  first cousin.
No more for now in case I haven't done what is necessary - my first time.
Best wishes
Margaret
