Looking for Great Grandmas Sister..Preston. Lancashire
« on: Wednesday 23 December 15 21:56 GMT (UK) »
Hello..this is my first post..I have done some family history research but have come unstuck with one line which I am interested in..My Great Grandmas sister was called Ethel Whittle Truswell..She married Fred Hall in Preston,Lancashire in 1910..They had two boys around that time...The only thing that I can find them on is the 1911 census...After that I dont know where they went and what happened to them..I wonder if anyone could give me some ideas as to where to search?...I hope that I have posted on the right section..many thanks for reading..Bev.

Were the children born in Nottingham? There are several Hall children with mother Truswell born there. They may still be alive so I wont put their names, but you can see them on Freebmd  http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

Many thanks for the helpful replies..the two boys where born Preston Lancs..I think one was called Ernest 1910
The birth and death details are definately her..Its a bit difficult trying to track her husband with a name like Fred Hall, but maybe they lived in the Billsborough area and I could try looking into that..Its literally only a few miles away..thankyou for your interest..kind regards..Beverley.

I think Fred could have died before 1939 as he isn't with Ethel on the 1939 register. She is in Morecambe and Heysham. There is a Henery (Henry) Watson in the house.

...The sons are Thomas Henry Hall 1911 and James Hall 1914...I got it wrong about Ernest..If Fred died pre 1939 then she was on her own a long time, bless her..Thanks again..its all new info😊
