Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 15 Send Message	I am looking for Mabel A Powell born about 1905 in Gloucestershire. Do not know the name of her parents but hoping the 1911 cencus will let me know. Will be grateful for any help. Janet

	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

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.

Member Since: January 2007 Posts: 15 Send Message	Hi, She had a son Gordon C Powell 1928 born in Bristol. This was before she married Leslie Axford.
Member Since: February 2007 Posts: 26,550 Send Message	Gee	Report	2 Apr 2010 18:22
	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
