Ethel Roberts born 1918 & Freda Roberts born 1925
« on: Monday 25 August 08 00:25 BST (UK) »
Hi
I am trying to find the families of Ethel Roberts born 1918 and Freda Roberts born 1925.  Both were born in the Manchester area but moved to Glasgow in the late 1930's/early 1940's.  They were the daughters of Joseph and Bertha Roberts who had both died by 1933.  Any help to find them would be greatly appreciated.  The BMD index seems to cover England and Wales only.  Does Scotland have anything similar?  Many Thanks.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk is the website you want but it is a paysite.  Also - they only have marriages up to 1932 so it will not be any use to you in that respect

Hi   Thanks for your reply.   I have looked at Scotlands People and may well have to register with them.  In the meantime maybe someone reading this posting will be able to help me.  Ethel and Freda are my Father's Sisters and came from a family of 9 children (their families may not be aware of this).   Over the last 7 years I have traced the siblings of the other children which has been wonderful.   Hopefully one day I will find Ethel and Freda.  Kind Regards.

Did Freda have a middle name?

Hi  Thanks for your reply.   I haven't got a copy of her birth certificate but I am not aware of a middle name.   Their Mother's maiden name was Eaves sometimes spelt Eves.

On www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, it shows

Surname:Roberts
Forename:Ethel
Mothers Maiden Name: Eaves
Birth year: 1918 +/- 1 year
County: Lanark

died in 1998.  If she's yours, I'm sorry.  But best way to check is to spend £6 and buy the death cert.  (I would have looked for you but don't have any credits left)

Can't find Freda though.
Genealogists don't die, they just lose their census.

Many Thanks everyone for taking the time to help me.   I never expected to get so many replies in such a short space of time.   The Ethel who passed away in 1998 may well be the one I am looking for.    I have a note that she was born October, November or December 1918 so I unless anything else comes to light I will apply for a copy of the death certificate.   Kind Regards.

Hi Again   I have just rung the Register Office in Scotland and it will cost £13 for a copy of a Death Certificate.  However the Certificate will include information such as DOB the home address etc which may help me find Freda.  I am guessing that the information on Scotland's people is just basic albeit very helpful to me so far - Thank You.  If Freda married in Scotland then I am not sure how I would find her
Any help or guidance will be appreciated.  Kind Regards.
