Henry Rodwell b. 1895

[grandma]

Would really like to find info about this man. His parents were James Rodwell and Elenor(Lizzie) he wa b in Chester, 1895, but the parents were back in Watford on both the 1901 and 1911 census. He had 2 sisters Nellie  and Alice Lizzie. Alice m. a George Longman 1926

Have all his famlies info, only Henry is missing. Have searched for both a death and marriage, so far nothing showed up.

Have a copy of his father`s will from 1948, where he, father James leaves all to his 3 children. So it looks like Henry was still living in 1948.

James was living at "Deva" Bushey,in 1948

Would really appreciate help in finding Henry.

Thanks so much, that is the first lead I have had for this man. Will try to find more now. Was this on free BMD?.

I`m not familiar with the English searching most of mine are in Scotland.

Thanks so much.

I started with FreeBMD, but there is a problem with Margaret's reference page number!
FindMyPast came to the rescue, though!

Oh Rosie. that`s wonderfull, thank you ever so much, will pass this info on to my cousin, she is so much better than I, looking for English info.

Yes, he was reg as Henry Thomas.

This is wonderfull news. Now will try to find if he had children.

His father and my grandfather were brothers, maybe find some living rellies.

Hi KGarrad.

Yes I had some trouble with Free BMD but managed to find Harry Rodwell without the Margaret, will have a look at Findmypast.

Thanks.

We aren't allowed to mention (potentially) living people on Rootschat.

But, if you go to FreeBMD, enter Rodwell as surname, Davenport as Mother's Maiden Name, and search years 1928 to 1955 you will get 4 hits!
2 girls (1929 and 1934) and 2 boys (1952 and 1953).

I'm not saying they are definitely Henry/Harry/Thomas and Margaret's, but . . . . .


P.S.
FreeBMD has Harry as page 1429, and Margaret as page 1439!!
