The powell and Hendry marriage seems to tie up with the death in Derby

ohh the initial post keeps changing

edit - do you know who the informant was on her death cert

Sandra If you want to know what happened to her between 1946 and 1970 I doubt that you will get any answers from here, and the likely hood of anyone knowing her and seeing this is virtually nil
But maybe you could return and answer our questions !!!

Jax, I sent Sandra a PM at 5.00 asking her to come back to the board and explaining how to do it, just in case she did not know how. She hasn't replied to me, but has come back to the board and changed her heading and the first couple of sentences. There was no mention of Stockton, Harrogate, Canada or her parents. There was also was not mention of her childrens names, in the original post.

I noticed that too Julia as when I found the death all I had to go on was Della 1970 and Derby but there was only one so that bit was easy

I followed on from yours Jax, though then, I didn't know she was born Canada, couldn't find her birth, found one born in 1906 in the 1911 but have now deleted that.

The Derby connection, and nothing else, was what was prominent in the original posting. So much so, that, that was what caught my eye. I may have been of help, being 'on the spot' as you might say, but with all the other connections, I do not think I will be of any help.

Cynthia

She should do anyway. I sent her a message on how to return and reply last November. Another one is on its way to jog her memory. Cx.

Julia

Julia Report 27 May 2010 15:35

Cynthia, I did that yesterday, and told her how. But she does know how to get back to her thread, because she came back to her original post and altered the information, at least twice. Please read my posts above.
many thanks

Thanks Julia - I was just confirming that Sandra does know how. She has open my pm from this afternoon but I haven't had an acknowledgment as yet.

Sandra, it would be really good if you could please answer the questions so that the helpers can help you further. Cx.

Thank you to all who replied. I know it was a long shot but I thought it worth a try. The recent history seems to be the hardest to trace. Through your responses from the last posting I now have a better picture. The informant on the death certificate was a Wercenty Manicki It would seem he did not know her date of birth or her second christian name or her husbands christian name so I don't think was any one close.
I have been to Derby and looked at the electoral role but could find nothing to help. Whether she was buried or cremated I have no idea.

Thanks again
Sandra
