True

My husband died in 2009, and his record has been opened in the last couple of months

It's such a hit-and-miss system.
A friend of mine died in late 2016, and her record is open on the 1939 Register.

ErikaH

ErikaH Report 8 Sep 2020 10:06

As she didn’t die until 1998, she’s unlikely to be on 1939, unless someone has picked it up - or they have been notified.

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 8 Sep 2020 09:40

Can't see Annie/Nance Hill in 1939, with a DOB in late 1920 (or early 1921 if Richard's info isn't quite correct).
Of course DOB's aren't always correct on 1939 Register in any case.

Hilda Irene Kynaston seems to be just a lodger.
She married twice, in 1951 and 1960, both times in Cheltenham, and died in 1990 in Birmingham.

I think 'Alcester' is misleading and not fact-based

ArgyllGran Report 7 Sep 2020 21:14

I know.

But there's no Nancy, Annie, or similar Gilks born in Alcester around 1920.

ErikaH Report 7 Sep 2020 21:10

Richard has Nancy in his tree as being born in Alcester in 1920

That marriage also already posted, Malyon.



But maybe all the foregoing is wrong - apart from the children's births and the daughter's whereabouts.

Maybe this is the correct woman below.

"Nance" may be a version of Annie, and maybe Mr Hill's name wasn't Peter!.

Marriages Jun 1939 (>99%)
Gilks Annie Hill Alcester 6d 2804
Hill Roland Gilks Alcester 6d 2804

Her birth, possibly at the end of 1920:

Births Mar 1921 (>99%)
Gilks Annie Bennett Kings N. 6d 212

Maybe the son Peter's middle name is Roland.

That's already posted, Malyon.

I had assumed that's the correct birth, but she died in 1982, not 1998 as Richard claims, and appears not to have actually married Peter Hill.

The Hill daughter may have married in1965 in Alcester - see FreeBMD.

If so, they are living in Warwickshire per the current Electoral Roll - see Electoral Rolls under "Search" at the top right of this page.
