Flintshire / Re: Tracing Sister who died at Connah's Quay

Hi Zetlander

I had tried so many different ways to find Marion and am so grateful to you for all your time and trouble taken in locating her.

I have a relative who lives in Chester and will ask if she can visit the grave so the family will know what to expect and we will arrange for a family visit and a headstone to be placed.

So many thanks again
Maureen

Dear all
Thank you so much for your help and especially to Zetlander.  You will never know how much this means to me.

What with the current situation, I don't think I will visiting for a month or two and will take your advice and contact Richard Brice first.

Can I ask how you found her grave.

So many thanks again
Maureen 🤗

Hi Zealander and Jo6100

Many thanks for your ideas. Knowing the family situation at the time and my father being in the army,  I assume that she was buried in Wales.  I have been on various sites to try to trace where she was buried with no luck. 

She may have been cremated.

As you suggest, I will look for the local hospital and try to trace records.

The only record that I have is my mother's identity card, which gives 3 addresses that the family were evacuated to at Connah's Quay.

Thank you for your interest and ideas.

Flintshire / Tracing Sister who died at Connah's Quay
« on: Tuesday 23 June 20 17:23 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Looking for help please.

My mother and three children were evacuated to Connah's Quay 1944-1945.  Sadly my sister, Marion Rose Cowling (aged 8 months) died whilst there.

I am trying to find where she is buried as I would love to visit her grave but cannot trace her name in any records for the area.  I have been in touch with North East Wales Archives and, although they have been very helpful, they cannot assist, especially as I believe that my sister would have been buried in an unmarked grave.  Marion died on the 21st January 1945 in the Registration District of Holywell, in the sub district of Flint, and the family where staying at Farfield Hall, Connah's Quay.

So, two things really, can anyone help with my quest to find my sister and has any one any thoughts on how I might obtain Evacuee records for Connah's Quay.

With many thanks in anticipation.
