Can anyone please help me find children belonging to Violet Brownell nee Davies? They originally lived in the Aigburth area of Liverpool. Their names were Jervis 1930. Marion1931. Joan1933.

I think Violet & her husband must have moved to the Lake District from the information I've found. James death record feb 1986 Kendal. Violet's April 1989 Lancaster.

Violet was my father's mother but he was adopted by his maternal grandparents, so I never met my Grandmother or her children.

It would be great to find someone who had a photograph of Violet & who could tell me a little of her life.

Many thanks everyone!

Unfortunately Jervis has also passed away but as it wasnt that long ago i would get the death cert. The informant may be able to help you with further info on the family,

Name: Jervis Michael J Brownell
Birth Date: 15 Sep 1930
Death Registration Month/Year: Aug 2004
Age at death (estimated): 73
Registration district: Ulverston
Inferred County: Lancashire
Register number: 24D

As you can see its still the Lake District so the other siblings may still be in the area .

Try PMing her. She probably has no idea how to find her thread again.
