Hi there!
I need a bit of advice as I have hit a brick wall in finding out what happened to my husband's relatives Reginald and Katherine Jewell.
Reginald Stephen Jewell was born Q1 1906 in Devonport, parents Stephen Richard Jewell and Bessie Jane Dymond. The family moved from the South West to Manchester some time after 1911, and in Q3 1928 Reginald married Katherine Mary J Farrell, (born Q3 1907 in Chorlton-cum-Hardy), in Barton-upon-Irwell. They had a son, Reginald T, born and died in 1932, but after this I can find no trace of them!
Reginald was one of ten children, seven of whom survived until adulthood, and I have had no problems in tracing them, but Reginald and Katherine are proving to be very elusive! My husband, born in 1951, remembers having an 'Uncle Reg', but doesn't recall ever meeting him or knowing anything about him. He doesn't remember Katherine.
I was wondering if they had emigrated, or something happened to them during the War, but haven't been able to find anything.
Any advice on what to do next gratefully received.
Thanks for reading this.
