I am also trying to find info on my grandfather William Skinner, he married Ethel Cash in London and they had 4 children, Ena, Margaret, Charles and William. I understand Ethel died during the war while William was away in the army. I have been unable to find a record of her death. I know he was in Bradford, West Yorkshire in the 1940's . |

Sorry about the confusion, you are right she was Ethel F. I know William was born around 1900 and died in 1967/8. He remarried after Ethel died, which as far as I know was during WW2, although I can't find her death as yet. i have been told the the kids were taken into care, but I don't know if this is true. Many thanks for all your help. |

Why would the death Katie posted not be your Ethel? -- If she did die during the war, that is, otherwise the death Mike posted looks reasonable. |

Hi Mike, that is definitely not the right death as her children were born in the 1930's, one of them was my mother, born in 1932, she told me her mother died during the war. |

Getting certificates is quite simple no matter where you are -- I'm in Canada and have got dozens. ;) |

If that census is corect then this is Ethel's birth? |

Looks like the last child was born in Finsbury, London in 1939. |

Thanks for the info rootgatherer. The last child Ethel and William had was also called William and he was born in 1938 but maybe there was another after. I can only say that as far as I know Ethel died in the war, that is what I was told as a child (William and Ethel were my grandparents) I know 2 of their children are still alive but unfortunately I have no contact with them, I was told that the eldest child Ena was taken into domestic service and the other 3 were put in care. William died in 1967/8 in Bradford, West Yorkshire as that is where he was living and I know he had married again or was living with someone, I have ordered the marriage cert so maybe that will help. |
