Alice Maud Mitchell / Charles Burrows Norwood

[Prue Heron]

Thanks for response Debra.  Alice's Granddaughter, Lynne is my new found closest DNA link to my unknown father.  All information is what was remembered by her deceased mother, Iris.   Iris remembered going to Devon a few times to stay with someone called Olive.  And that she was very close to the Constables (who she may have met in Devon).  She eventually moved to live with widower Henry Constable in Tilbury until his death (and he left his inheritance to her) and then she moved to live near one of his sons in Newcastle where she died.  If we can find Alice, Iris and Lynne's family; we should find my father along the way.

Here is the birth certifice showing Charles Burrows and Alice Mitchell

That's very interesting re the aka.  And what on earth would precipitate that retrospective change on the register in 1969....  We have a little group of 5 of us new relatives trying to find the answers.. over a year now.. So at least I an add something new..

The 1939 register was updated until 1991.  She may have been applying for an aged pension, but not knowing what year she was born it is hard to tell.  How old did they think she was when she died?

Your cert didn't attach.

Sorry for delays... getting to grips with Rootschat.  I phonesnapped the birth certificate so hope you can see now.  Re the Mitchell aka - Alice visited the family who had emigrated to NZ in 1954 and wrote her family names (allegedly) in their baby book. Father John Mitchell.  Mother Mary Ann Mitchell.  Herself as Alice Maud Constable!

Seems like I can't attach anything... I managed to shrink the 1939 entry but anything else is too big.  :-(

This is not adding up - this death was for a plain Alice, probate to an Eva Wilson, wife of Daniel Wilson, and she lived in Newcastle!    Earlier in the thread you said she died in Liverpool so surely the Alice M Burrows bc.1883, death Sept.qtr.1958 Liverpool South must be her??
