Ethel Quin

[IgorStrav]

Just to add my two penn'orth to this search

I've produced about 29 Ethel Richardsons in a 2009 Electoral Roll search, but sadly the years of birth are not shown in this cheapskate search site. 

The Ethels are spread all across the country and include Scotland and Northern Ireland, and unfortunately none of them is noticeably close to Buckinghamshire/Berkshire where we know Ethel was in 1960.

So no further with that one so far, then.

As both Igor & Jon know from pm exchange - there is another avenue being explored at the moment.  It may go nowhere - but we have to give it a try.

Wills & Probates must be working overtime - email notification arrived half an hour ago - Charlie Richardson's will

Shown on the will as Charles Richardson - otherwise Charlie Richardson

Sadly - it looks as though Ethel had yet another short lived marriage as "Charles" appears to have remarried in 1966 and had a daughter from that marriage.

Further info to follow by pm later as I am doing a bit of digging around at the moment

Well done for getting the Richardson will, Carole.

However, at the risk of simply saying just what everyone is thinking:

that now leads us on to questioning whether Ethel did marry again, or simply live with a partner, taking his name.

[CaroleW]

Yes - worst fears confirmed but perhaps a glimmer of hope if I make that call tomorrow - see pm I have just sent

[CaroleW]

Any further info on this thread will now have to be by pm as it involves living persons.  I have a little bit of info which may turn up something but it's early days

PM's will be sent asap

[IgorStrav]

Just to say - well done Carole for your persistence with this hunt, making calls and following through over and above the call of duty.

[CaroleW]

over and above the call of duty.

Same could be said about you buying the birth and marriage cert

I must thank everyone for your persistence and dedication...this has been a roller coaster of a journey that isn’t getting easier....just when we think we’ve cracked it....bang ! it takes another twist.
