Can anyone help PLEASE. I can find the birth of VIOLET COWHERD born 1905 daughter of William Cowherd and Fanny Nelson, registered in Kendal. I cannot find a marriage or death record. I was led to believe she died in childbirth between 1925 - 1935, but I dont know if this is true, I think the child survived. She may have just left the area. She may have been unmarried, but there again I am not sure.

Once again, thanks so much for your help - you are obviously more experienced than me! I am now looking for my uncle's death - Can you give me some hints? I think I must be doing something wrong. I go on the the home page then bmd - select deaths and put approximate years in - it brings up pages and pages to look through - is there a better way? I am using ancestry.co.uk. By the way his name, if your interested, was Bruce Cowherd b1909 - he was killed mid twenties on a motorcycle.
This could be one of yours Death Fanny Cowherd age 48 Kendal 10b 871
Bruce A Cowherd 1935 april qu age 26 Kendal 10b 879

You're a star. I don't really know what I am looking for, except that it has been suggested recently to me that my grandparents were really my great grandparents. It was suggested to me that Violet was really Edna's (my mum's) mother and not sister - I don't know how to find out. The register lists Fanny Nelson as her mother (my grandmother) which is as I have always thought but it could have been a cover-up (because Violet was unmarried)and Fanny would have been 42 at that time . I think one of the daughters could have had a child out of wedlock. I will give you the dates. Violet 1905 - 1927 (mn George) and Sarah (mn Barnes) 1911 - 2001. Edna 1925 -1996 (it was not her but the age gap between Violet and Edna was 20 years) The Plot thickens!!!
