Find Ancestors

No newspaper report no inquest i have looked for all of this when i was also looking at two other deaths in the same family, same place and round about the same time, kill two birds with one stone while at all the library's and offices.

Samantha

This death has been kept very quiet but the info i have is very true, and did not make to the newspapers

Glad Mary found the information for you. If you buy the death certificate you will know for sure how she died. Family stories are not always true, but the certificate should give you the correct information.

As has already been said, I would be surprised if the drowning of a little girl wasn't reported in local newspapers.

Thanks guys for all your help now i can let her sister know when she was born and when she died, just dont know how im going to break the news of how she really did die as she does not know the truth. Might be best not to say anything and just leave it be.

Death of Lesley A Hatcher age 4: Q3 1949 Windsor 6a 158

Mary

Mary what a star you are so we have been given the wrong info for her birth.
Sorry guys what can i say.
Lesley died when she was four so that would be 1949 Mmmm Kath your right dont always rely on others for dates, sorry.
Samantha

Well done Mary!!

Told you Samantha that people's memories aren't always up to scratch. The birth was when you expected the death to be.

Do you think she was about 5 when she died?

Kath. x

FOUND IT!! :-)))))

Lesley A Hatcher birth: Q1 1945 Eton 3a 2237 mmn Watmore

Mary

Edit: will search for death - might be a while ancestry still playing up

The death was not i n the paper have checked that aswell when i was at Windsor last week while researching two other deaths that also happened in the family back in 1942.

Samantha

Have you thought of contacting the local newspaper for the area.............even in wartime, the death by drowning of a small child would be newsworthy.........

Nan remembers and lesley's sister says she remembers her mother telling her about it.
We do not know where the records would be as they got move years ago but to where who knows.
So looks like it might be a lost cause.
Samantha

There is no death in 1944 either.

I wouldn't rely on other people's memories as they often play tricks on people.

If there is no cemetery office then the local county council should have details of burials.

Kath. x

Sorry Samantha,

Ancestry is on and off every couple of minutes tonight. It's off again at the moment. Will check when it's on again.

Kath. x

I was told by someone who still lives in Wraysbury that remembered her as a little girl and Lesley is buried to the lady's little brother.
There is no office for any info have already tried that one which i found rather strange.
Samantha

Oh not doing so well with this person at all.
Do any of you guys think it might be worth checking for the rest of the year for her birth and maybe trying 1944 for her death.
Any help would be appricated.
Samantha

Is the grave in a cemetery? Does the cemetery have an office? If so they should be able to give you the date of burial.

How did you find the grave and how do you know it's hers without a headstone?

Kath. x

Ancestry is now back and there is no Hatcher birth in the first qtr. of 1940 with a mother's maiden name of Watmore.

Kath. x

No it was her first name, but she is proving to be a bit of a mystrey (spelt wrong) although i have found the grave but no headstone to it.
Samantha

No death in 1945 either...............
