any suggestions??


We have just discovered that a very elderly (94) aunt by marriage has died ........... in late November / early December 2009


yes, I know!


She still lived in the UK, we had contact once a year at Christmas, but I heard nothing in 2009. We last saw her in 2001 when we were over there.

I am the last living close relative of her husband.

So I asked Contrary Mary last November what she could find out on the Electoral Rolls ......... what she found set me on a hunt. The house had been sold in April last year for around 72K.


Aunt had no children. We knew she had a "nephew" who helped her, but I have never in my life met anyone of her family, and she never actually said his name that I can remember. It was always "My nephew ....". I only knew he was from her side of the family.

The only other relatives I have from this side who still live in England are my brother's widow, but she's 80, and lives in another town, and her daughters who live elsewhere as well.

Finally, one of my nieces wrote letters addressed to Occupant, and sent them to the 6 houses next to Aunt

One wouldn't phone niece, but got someone else to do it.

Niece emailed me with the information on Saturday ............ and I am mulling over what to do


We now know the christian name of the "nephew", but not his surname, the town he probably lives in, and a phone number for him.

In fact, I do not know whether this man is her nephew or her gt nephew ............... he is still working as a teacher, which indicates he is under the age of 60.


I would love to know exactly when my aunt died, and where she is buried.

But I am very hesitant about phoning this man ..... especially for fear that he might think I am after "inheritance" ............. it is possible that he has come in for a nice little sum, even if only from the sale of her house.

But I honestly have no interest in that.


There is the possibility of asking CM if she can find this man in the rolls, so that I could write him a letter

OR I could ask CM if she can find the name of the neighbour who wouldn't phone the niece, but was Aunt's close friend, and then write to her myself to see what she knows.




Suggestions welcomed!

In your situation I would try to track him down using electoral rolls and write him a letter along the lines of how saddened I was after hearing of the passing of our aunt and as I am researching our family tree would appreciate details of when she died to aid in my research. I'd talk about memories of her too.

good idea Toots


I hadn't thought of taking that tack

night Sylvia.

Lovely breakfast.

Couldn't talk with my mouthful.

sleep well.

Well what charming cheery topics you have been on!

Fanny we can just throw you in the river severn if you want?


Having a lazy morning but will make up for it this afters....

OMG...just read Fannys funeral details!


I hope Alan was looking down on it all, I dare say he would have been laughing

Just heard of a new company that does funerals on the cheap


Fannys Farcy Funerals Ltd

Hi all,

Thanks for the lovely breakfast Sylvia - sorry I missed you before you went to bed.

I would do exactly what Toots suggested, try to track him down and write that letter.

Hope everyone is well today!

See you all later.

The bit that got cut off from my PMs to you .....

Funeral parlour that Alan went to for night before funeral said they would get out the super glue and sort out the crack in Casket made by "The mishap",which they must have done as I have heard no complaints and am told all went well at Crem.
But now the rows start as to what happens to his Ashes I guess..

Will find out when Bezzie gets back here in a couple of days,but in the mean time I feel the need to lie in a darkened room for some time..

And write one very strong letter to a certain National Car/Van hire company for the distress inflicted on us and to tell them how incompetent their booking staff are...!

I should make that a VERY harsh letter Fans.!!!!!!!!!

Thanks,
