Ethel Quin

[CaroleW]

WELL - thanks to some info received on Thursday and some brilliant research by jonw65 we now know that Ethel called herself by a different first christian and went on to marry twice more that we know of.  She died in 2010.    There is a strong possibility that at least one of her later husbands is still alive so no further details can be posted.

Derek has been sent all additional information

Many congratulations for the brilliant further research and information seeking.

I think it has produced a result that we’d never have expected from the start of this mystery thread.

[CaroleW]

It has certainly kept us occupied and everything seems to have come together in the last few days.

Lots of twists and turns along the way but we got there in the end

It's certainly been an amazing effort, but particularly by Carole and Igor. They have both indeed gone over and above and deserve the highest praise.
Igor was absolutely right about Ethel Wills and purchased the certificate to prove it,
Carole's great efforts over the last few days to procure more info has certainly paid off. She mentioned that there are two more marriages for Ethel, and looking for the first of those on the relevant county BMD website brings good news.
Well done to them both!

Thank you, Jon, your kind comments appreciated.

I thought you'd like to know that I've now excelled myself in this 'over and above the call of duty' respect with regard to this particular search.

In reviewing further bits on my Ancestry Wills/Quin tree, I also noticed that someone had made a correction to the 1939 Register for Ethel's stepbrother, Jack (Hanrahan) Wills.

I couldn't see a tree for this person, but thought she might be connected to the family in some way, so dropped her a message with a link to this thread, asking if she knew any more about Ethel.

Sadly, however, this has turned out to be of no further assistance, as the person concerned turned out to be our very own CaroleW, in her Ancestry alter ego.

It’s been very interesting. Well done to all.

[CaroleW]

Thank you.  Igor & I have had a laugh over the 1939 correction.  

One more bit of the puzzle may possibly fall into place in the next week or so but I think what has been found so far & particularly knowing when & where she died may be of help to her daughter

[CaroleW]

Thank you - it's been a real team effort and over the last few days info has come to light which has resulted in the promise of photos of Ethel being sent by 2 different friends who knew her and spent a lot of time with her
