ohhh my mum and dad was NEVILLE and ROSEMARY xxxx

I think it's unlikely that anyone here will recognise your reminiscences, lovely as they are, but if you could just give names - forenames and surnames - approximate years of birth and where. Otherwise it is nigh impossible for anyone to help.

If I'd put that Joan I'd be slaughtered. You are right though but we don't know Melanie.

Joan. I like a challenge but I need something to go on. :-(

Melanie has another thread about a member of the Rouse family where she was given advise about looking at the search members trees.

Melanie, can we start with your parents then go on from there?

Since you mentioned Neville and Rosemary and Norfolk, could they have married in Suffolk in 1965?

Did your father die in 2014?

I think Melanie is possibly new to genealogy and excited at the thought of finding her family. and what is 'all over the place' to us is just how they talk on line. she just needs a kind person to put a specific question though like JoyLouise has done then maybe some of our kind people can help her. <3

Good idea Joy. How did you find a possible death in 2014? Surname?
I've tried various permutations of the given names but get 'no results'.
There are routes to follow from the members trees.


Goddard/Bird? 1965. :-S

A ninGlos. Whilst Melanie hadn’t posted very much she has been a member since 2007.

I am trying to help Ann but the names just don't go together.
I have given Melanie a pointer on the other thread.

I've spent some time today trying to marry names together with no results.

The lady who Melanie is looking for seems to have been born around 1955 so unless Shirley was a much older friend I'm not sure that Melanie would be a youngster.

ah an inactive member. She should know to revisit the thread then. Ah yes, so possibly in her late 60s then. Maybe she could re-visit her post, read it and break it up a bit. Yes I saw that you were helping. Actually nice to have somebody ask for help for a change isn't it?

The other thread:

Melanie says her 'nanny' was Joyce Barker : could this be her burial

Name: Joyce Ruth Margaret Barker
Death Date: 30 Aug 1980
Cemetery: St. Mary's Churchyard
Burial or Cremation Place: Denton, South Norfolk District, Norfolk, England

Added Joyce RM Winter amrried William Barker in 1935 Depwade, Norfolk, late living in Hayes Middlesex (1939)

Added: if this is right then Joyce is on a lot of Ancestry trees.

added more: from Freebmd :
Births Jun 1936 (>99%)
Barker Rosemary J Winter Uxbridge 3a 107

Well done Names. Neville Goddard appears to be Rosemary's second husband. That doesn't get us any closer to Shirley Rouse though - except for sending her a message via 'members trees'. Square one LOL

The first line of this request is for Aunt Dora. One of the ancestry trees has her dying in 2003 in Norfolk.

Melanie needs to learn how to use Freebmd or take out an Ancestry sub. One of the tree owners may actually be related.

It is indeed but all quite confusing as he other thread is looking for Shirley Rouse and the two seem to merge.

I'm guessing Melanie doesn't use either tool as the information is all there.

I don't see anyone being rude Melanie, just confused by lack of vital information when trying to help.
Sorry, I just can't make sense of your post.
