????????????

Marriages Jun 1940
Kendall Sidney - Smith Hinckley 7a 221
Smith Elah M - Kendall Hinckley 7a 221

I cant see his death in the UK, maybe he died after 2005?

I thought it was a boys name?

Can anyone find a death for Elah Kendall ?

According to a tree on Ancestry SHE was Elah May Smith and died 29/04/2011

Parents Tom Smith and Eliza Jane Clarke

(no sources attached)

There are a number of births in the 1940s in Leicestershire for Kendall mmn Smith (might not be theirs, though).

There is no other birth for Elah Smith than the one already found


Births Jun 1915 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smith Elah N - Clarke Lutterworth 7a 7



It would really help to know from poster, the sex of the Elah they are looking for

When you look at the original scan of the register for that 1915 birth I'm sure that it is actually Elah M. There is a white mark on the top right of the "M" which i think has caused it to be transcribed as "N". If you compare the other capital M's and N's on the register then you may see what I mean.

Origin and Meaning of the Name Elah

Gender: Both
Origin: Hebrew
Meaning: Oak tree

Can also mean pistachio tree or goddess.

Hi all

thanks for your replies & interest .Elah is female and i think the siblings
Victor .Henry ,Victor are right but the Elah mentioned married to a kendall i thought was right but after messaging a relative through here its not .
Elah's grandparents were John Smith & Ellen Edden and her parents were
i think James smith & Everlyn Clarke but i could be wrong on parents .

I think you need to buy her birth certificate ...... and get the correct names of her parents!

Thta tree on ancestry says the parents of Elah May Smith are Tom Smith and Eliza Jane Clarke

and her grandparents (ie, parents of Tom Smith) are Ephraim Smith and Catherine Wright



which is not what you are saying.



The ONLY way ot be sure is to buy the certificate

go to http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

You have to sign up, but it is free.


Follow instructions for birth certificate, using information EXACTLY as posted above and copied to here

ie,
Births Jun 1915

Smith Elah N - Clarke Lutterworth 7a 7



Answer YES when asked if you have the GRO Index (or Reference) Number ................ that's the 7a 7 at the end of the entry.


It will cost you £9.25, p&p included.

Hi Andrew
Have just contacted my cousin in NZ and she says siblings are right as far as she knows but saying Everlyn Clarke & James Thomas Smith Parents ,

Siblings Henry ,Victor &James
Mags

Margaret


You cannot avoid buying the birth certificate


you are going round in circles!




sylvia

Sorry meant to say Henry Victor & Thomas were her siblings .

James Thomas Smith married a Everlyn H clarke Lutterworth 1912

if children above are theirs why no Elah .As i said i thought i had found her but information on parents & birthplace not right Help who would be a Smith


Mags :-( :-(

There is another thread about this woman.......................

http://www.genesreunited.co.nz/boards.page/board/living_relatives/thread/1289593

Try looking for a death with an alternative spelling for the woman's name

I cannot see any other possibility than for Margaret to buy the birth certificate for Elah


we're all just going round in circles and wasting time!



The matter can be solved in less than 5-7 working days if Margaret is in the UK

2-3 weeks if she lives overseas.


and the certificate only costs £9.25 no matter where you live!




sylvia

However ..............


I might just be the invisible woman, as Margaret has not acknowledged any of my postings! :-D
