Find Ancestors

please can anyone help find Ruby Short (birth name)
born in possibly lingwood norfolk, or norwich. She would have been born in about 1933 +/- 10 years. She had 2 children that we know of , one called Susan. We are trying to find if hopefully she is alive. Any info will narrow our search. We have found an old address but it had beed demolished years earlier. The Ruby listed on this site born 1929 is not an accurate year. MY friend who entered it was guessing

Have you tried FreeBMD?

The 1929 Ruby is the only one coming up both on Freebmd and Ancestry,
Was Susan born with the same name or had Ruby married?
Thereare only 6 Susans born in Norfolk with MMN Short.

thank you all so much. This all checks out. Susan's mum was Ruby Short and dad earnest Booker. They devorced and we dont know if Ruby is alive now. Time may have run out for us to find her. Could she be listed on electrol roll? but we dont know if she remarried. do you think she is stll alive? thank you for your help

cant find a second marriage or death[then again it could be after 2005] there is a ruby brooker livin ay barnet 2010 electrol role been there since 1983

Barnet seems to be London? Is that the only Ruby Brooker/ Short alive born about 1929? thank you

Ruby D D Short married an Ernest S Brooker.

If that is the name of Susans father then the 1929 birth is definatley hers.

Have been in contact with Wendy by PM.


I have found a brother for Ruby. There is someone who looks to be his grand-daughter on GR and hopefully Wendy will be able to make contact with her.

Good hunting Choccy ,as usual..>>;)

thank you so much xxx

Thanks FBG

still waiting for possible relatives to get back through this site but does anyond know know Ruby D D Short born 1929 parents were. her mum is listed as Willgress and dad must be a Short who seem to come from Blofield area of Norfolk. i/ve left lots of messages to possible ones but no replies yet

If you go to this site

freebmd.org.uk

You can search for a Willgress/Short marriage before 1929.

That would give you her parents names.

It is on there....1929
