Hi,
I'm looking for my dads great grandmother who died after returning from south africa in a large house, belonging to her family in Hadley Wood. I believe her name was Alice Marchant or Le Marchant.....she was born about 1890 and died about 1930....
Alice MARCHANT was your great grandmother – your father’s grandmother. This appears to be her death and her husband’s remarriage both registered in the Durham district. The death certifcate will give you an address.

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.plAlice Hands and Frederick Farrell both born approx 1911.
Alice is shown as living with her family on the 1911 census at Durham. We are not allowed to provide information from the 1911, but the free indexes are here
http://www.1911census.co.uk/ If you can access the original record you will be able to see ages and places of birth for both William and Alice Snr. and their children
William and Alice appear to have had seven children – after 1912 the mother’s surname was added to the indexes so the last three children are easy to find here
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.plThis looks like Alice Jnr’s birth registration:
Births Dec Quarter 1908 HANDS, Alice
Registered Lanchester District

The siblings born prior to 1912 are William Philip (c1906 South Africa), Charles Arthur (1907 Birmingham) and George Harold (c1911- I think Registered Atherstone District, Leicestershire/Warwickshire.)
