Beverley Report 1 Jan 2008 00:24

Hi, I am looking for any information on Ethel nee Fitches and Thomas Sangster. I remember visiting them when I lived in Stevenage many years ago. I remember they had a son John but don't know if there were any other children. I was led to believe that Ethel was my grandfathers (Ernest Fitches b 1898, Suffolk) sister but now believe this to be untrue. Can anyone help piece this part of my tree together please. I think she was a Fitches but maybe she was a cousin. I can't seem to tie her in with Ernest at all. Any help would be great. Thanks.
Regards Bev

Beverley, we found an Ethel Fitches marrying a Sangster in Ware and Stevenage Hertfordshire the other evening? The only way you are going to tie her in is to look for the marriage of that Ethel and then buy the marriage cert to see who the father was. Or indeed, buy the birth cert - you have the date and ref below.

So that no one wastes time duplicating my research - this is what I found :

Name: Ethel May Fitches
Year of Registration: 1905
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Ware
County: Hertfordshire
Volume: 3a
Page: 712 (

This would tie in with this death :(that is, an Ethel May Fitches married a Sangster in Hertfordshire)

me: Ethel May Sangster
Birth Date: 18 Aug 1905
Death Registration Month/Year: Jul 1996
Age at death (estimated): 90
Registration district: Hitchin and Stevenage
Inferred County: Hertfordshire
Register number: 1B
Entry Number: 264
