	England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2005 about Mabel A Axford Name: Mabel A Axford Death Registration Month/Year: 1959 Age at death (estimated): 52 Registration district: Bristol Inferred County: Gloucestershire Volume: 7b Page: 197 Going on the age at death, it looks like the birth that Flick posted is correct. Again, if you buy the (birth) certificate it should give you both parents x

Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 15 Send Message	Hi Dea. Many thanks for your help. Perhaps the birth i found for Thornbury is wrong. I think i am taking it for granted that she was born there. I know she got married there to a Leslie Axford. She also died there in 1959. So i am not sure where to go now,but thanks anyway.

	If you look yourself at 1911, you will see that there isn't Mabel Powell born c1907 living in Gloucestershire. I can't use my credits for you, so you will need to hope that someone with a sub is willing to have a look for you Good luck
