No Marg, he was as surprised as I was but extremely happy.  I was so glad because it could have easily gone the other way.  Diane

I am SO pleased that you have made contact and that it has all worked out well.

When you made your first post on here looking for graves of your grandparents, and we started looking for info for you, none of us thought the research would have ended in such a way!

I do hope you have a wonderful time when you come over to England.

Thank you Liz.  Yes, I would have never believed it either.  When I tell my family and friends about it they are just amazed.  They all said we should make a movie.  I've changed my plans for England quite a bit.  Now I'll be in Walsall visiting family more.  I can always come back for the castles.  Not everyone gets a brother for Christmas!  Kindest regards, Diane

It's such a shame that at such an early age she was the only one left from a family of 6 & all alone in the world.
It makes one believe she was making sure this wasn't going to happen to her children.

My brother has her diaries from the year her mother died and then when she was 17 and 18.  He is sending them to me.  I know she always missed her mother terribly.  She didn't really remember her dad.  She must have been terribly lonely as a young woman.  I can't wait to see them and the pictures he's sending. :)  Diane

Hi everyone.  Just wanted to update you and give you a new challenge since you were so brilliant on the first one.  After finding my grandparents' graves I decided to look for my half brother Paul's grave.  He died at one of whooping cough.  The Bereavement center found it.  The mystery comes in the fact that he was buried with two other people, Edward Hayden (with an e not an o) and Alice Hayden.  I found birth records on both of those individuals but couldn't find a link to Paul.  My brother said there has always been a controversy in the family about whether their name is spelled incorrectly.  So here is the information that may help.  We're hoping that Edward and Alice are Paul's grandparents or at least relatives.  We know that Paul's father was Edward John Haydon, born 10-14-12.  Died in 1995.  He is buried at St. Mary's.  I don't have a birth certificate for him but maybe one of you can find the names of his parents.  The other people in Paul's grave are Edward Hayden age 73.  He died on 5/26/55,  and Alice Hayden, died 10/31/31.  Thanks for everything.  I facetime with my new family every day and it's wonderful, all thanks to you.  Diane

Hi
It is going to be difficult to be sure without the birth cert of Edward, pauls dad, in 1912.
As he was born after the last available census, we wont be able to see him on a census with his parents.
We can look around for Edwards and Alices in previous censuses, but it would only be guesswork as to whether they are Edward (bn 1912) ' s parents.

Does your surviving half brother have a copy of his Dads birth cert?
Or does he know if his Dad had any siblings? Especially any born pre1911?
Does he know his grandparents names?

No, he does not have his birth certificate or any information on his grandparents.  I'll just order it from the GRO.  I had the same problem with the censuses last night.  I just thought I was not searching properly.  I'll be back in touch.  Thank you, Diane
