Hannah Terrey nee Plumb

[DutchLiz]

I am looking for relatives of Hannah. I adopted the grave of her brother Thomas Plumb who was killed in action in ww2 and is buried in my hometown Venray, The Netherlands. My goal is to find a photo from Thomas to put at his grave on special occasions. I already had contact with the son of an older brother (Myer/Michael Plumb) of Hannah but unfortunately he has no photo. Kind regards and thanks in advance, Liz Her.

To start this off:

Thomas' grave: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/18397653/thomas-samuel-plumb

Thomas was the son of Samuel Myer and Esther Caroline Plumb (née Cripps).

Birth registrations with the surname Plumb, mother's maiden name Cripps.

1910: Myer William Plumb
1911: Hannah R Plumb
1914: Adelaide E Plumb
1919: Daphne V Plumb
1921: Ralph C Plumb
1923: Male Plumb (uncertain whether he is still alive, although he would be almost 100)
1925: Thomas S Plumb
1931: Female Plumb (uncertain whether she is still alive as there is a redacted entry on the 1939 register and it could be hers)

Hi Queenie, Thanks for your quick reply. I also found Hanna's siblings in a familytree on ancestry and started to look for descendants of the eldest sibling, Myer. This is a dead end because they have no photo's and no contact with the other members of the Plumb family. So next is Hannah. In the family tree I found there is no entry in 1931, I thought Thomas was the youngest. I guess you don't have a name because she is still alive?

Hi Liz,

To be honest, I am not sure whether she is a member of this same family, or whether it is just a coincidence. All I did was look for children born with the same surname/mother's maiden name combination in the right time period.

Have you heard of freebmd?

As its name implies, it is free to search and you don't have to sign up. When searching, tick the 'Births' box, enter surname as 'Plumb' and 'Spouse/Mother surname' as Cripps. There you will find a list of all children I mentioned.    

The only thing that supports there being another child is the redacted entry on the 1939 register. There are 5 members of the Plumb household: Samuel, Esther, Daphne & Ralph + 1 more. The fact that the entry is closed means that this person is either still alive or only died recently and the page has not been updated to reflect that. I suppose it could also be the male Plumb born in 1923, although he would be of very advanced age by now.

No, I never heard of it but I will certainly check it out. Thanks again for this great hint and your reply. Have a nice evening, Liz
