I`ve a Doris Reed on an official document living at  Trafalgar Terreace in Swansea in 1950, she`s also on the Electoral Roll. At this time she was approximately 38 years old.

Doris left this address, I think, in the autumn of 1952.

I have some letters written by Doris with various addresses.

29th January 1953 Doris` address was 71 Mallinson Road Battersea SW11, having left her sister`s home, also in Battersea. She gives her sister`s name only as Mrs. Crawford.

14th March 1953 Doris was at the Mount Royal Hotel, Marble Arch ( now the Thistle)

5th May 1953 Doris was at 357 Acton Lane, Acton.

From the 10th June 1953 until the 11th December Doris was back at the Mount Royal Hotel.

I was told that Doris was born in Wales. The only one I could find searching for a 1912 birth +/- 2 years was in Cardiff.

I have tried to work sideways with a Reed marriage to a Crawford looking for her sister but without success.

I`ve also emailed the hotel group to see if there was any information they might hold, but no reply.

I`m hoping that a Rootschatter will read this and think they  might have a connection.

Thanks in anticipation !!

Please may I have fresh eyes on this?

James Graham married Mary Scott on 24th December 1920 at Galashiels. His parents were William and Helen Graham.

In 1927 Mary (Scott) Graham married John Tinline on 30th December.

The thing is I have been unable to find either a divorce or death for James Graham. The marriage extract for James and Mary does not show that it`s been corrected.

I have an extract for a James Graham who died aged 26 in 1924; however, he was single and his parents were Alexander and Jessie, so not the right one.

My connection is with Mary, she was my grandfather`s cousin, but I`m keen to finish of James, so to speak.

Thanks in advance

I should know this but what are the years that missing from the online GRO index ( deaths) ?

There are 2 episodes of this programme on BBC 4 on Thursday. One at  8pm is about a sea captain`s house - is this a new episode? The other episode is later so I guess a repeat.
