If you can give us the names of any of her children we could possibly find her maiden name.

Walsall is her place of death

You said 1889??? so do you have any certificates that could pin point her

jax

jax Report 21 May 2010 02:00

I can see 11 children that could be hers between 1921 - 1938

Hi Jax,
Sorry, was just on that ancestorhunt site but cant make sense of it!! her last name could be Pratt as I had an uncle called John Pratt on that side of family, she may well have been living in Sparkbrook with her parents at that time, thanks a lot your a diamond!

Forgot to say mom said she was born in 1889 & def died in October 1977 in City Hospital, (was known as Dudley Rd Hospital then) Birmingham, I remember because she died 3 days before my aunt got married & she was devastated.
Thanks again!!

Are you deff sure your aunt got married in 1977 cannot see any deaths for an Elizabeth clover could she have re married?

Edit- pm your aunts details and I will check unless you are sure

Kim

Kim Report 21 May 2010 04:04

No she never married after he died, it was definately 77 as I was bridesmaid & was also the year I started senior school, everybody called her Bess but don't suppose that would be on the death cert would it? I know she lived on Highfield Rd Washwood Heath for years, cos my mom said she used to go there all the time as did I & my sister. Her daughter (my nan) was called Lilian Clover before she married my grandad she was born in 1921.
Thanks
Kim

Im sorry but maybe Im missing something but I cannot see any Clover deaths in Birmingham that would match in 1977

Kim

Kim Report 21 May 2010 04:49

Thats ok Jax, will double check with my mom, thanks for trying anyway. While Im here I don't suppose you know how to find people on ancestorhunt.com? Someone was saying on here that you can search the name & then the Household to see who lived there?

Kind Regards

Kim
