Maggie ........ if your aunt only died 6 years ago, her record would not have been opened before FMP got it, and they probably haven't got round to it yet.

So she will still a closed record.

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

My elder sister and brother and me aged 2 years 5 months were evacuated at the end of sept 1939 from London to Kent

Mum and dad show on the register but we aren't with them.

I knew where we were living .am still in touch with the daughter of my foster parents who was born post 1945

So my sister and I are with the couple .sisters name is open and her married surname added ,she passed away in 2002 .my name is closed

My brother is living next door and his record is closed . He died in 2001 but this was in Spain so they haven't picked this up

Researching:
Surname Fahse. Germany. Essex .South East London My avatar is one of our wedding photos of 1957

Thank you for your replies :-)

...so the whereabouts of my mum on that evening will remain a mystery.

I still haven't found my dad's whereabouts (he died 20 years ago) - but his mum was in prison, and I have absolutely no idea what name he was using, or even what area of the country he had been shipped to :-S

Researching:
Henry Floyd (g x 4 grandad)

maggie ..............


I think you are "stuck" until FMP reach that record, so you have to keep checking back.

It's different if you think you know where they are, ie with your parents or a certain other family or school.

You can send FMP the death certificate and ask them to open the record. But you do have to a) be practically certain that that record is them and b) send the certificate as proof of their death.

I'm not sure if you could send them a death certificate and ask them to find the record on the Register.

It should theoretically be possible ............ maybe someone else knows?
