I have just been looking at the Chambers tree on Ancestry.  It says Beryl was born 1931 (correct) and died Kington 1952 (incorrect)

The 1933 birth is shown as GW instead of WG and the death in 1986 as GW

It shows Evan's birth as 10.1.1927 but his birth was registered December qtr 1927

Beryl Jones 1931-1952. - Died without Marrying. - my grandmother stayed in touch with her.

Your gran was born 1934 so would only have been 18 if Beryl died in 1952. 

I really think you need to ignore some of the info on the tree or ask the owner to prove their "facts" by producing BMD certs in support of the info they have posted

Re: Cecil - suggest you look at the 1955 marriage in Hereford.  Details cannot be posted here

I know about this one it is a completely different person my grandmother's half-sister (1 of the child from Charles's second marriage). Had this one checked out by Salvation Army but they couldn't find any other Cecil.

As My grandmothers half siblings are also interested in finding him

Yes this is what I mean. I know Evan Jack went by Jack and I know George/William went by George and my grandmother goes by her middle name also.

Yes I know about Evan's birth which is what I'm confused by because Charles & Ivy married in Sept 1927 - As someone else said earlier.

Don't be disheartened , you are doing a wonderful thing for your grandmother and I hope we can help.

Just take with a pinch of salt those items on Family Trees. Don't discard them but use them , as you are now , as guideposts to show the way.

And the hardest piece of advice is to also temper what your grandmother says. Her memories are 70 years old , and let me tell you us oldies sometimes mix things around , even when we swear they are gospel. :D Once again use what she says as helpers but be critical at times.

:)

Thank You.  :)

Is the tree owner American?  If so, '10.1.1927' would mean '1st October 1927' which would be correct for a Dec qtr registration.

Hi CarolA3

Please see reply 2.  Death reg shows birthdate as November 1927.  That assumes it is the correct death though.  Opening post shows possibly 2005 but it appears to have been 1997

This is not from the tree owner the Birth says Oct-Nov-Dec, but on a death record it startes that his birth is 10th January 1927. - Why is Jones so hard.
