Find Ancestors

Maura many thanks. I was gradually coming round to thinking that myself.
Will go take a look on Ancestry at tree, and then hopefully make a connection. Im really grateful for everyones help.

Someone has a tree on ancestry with the Seymour family on it. They have Robert Edwin down as Edwin born India and died in Belfast. It all tally with the 1911 census. I think Margaret is Mable's motherinlaw and Robert Edwin is Mables husband.

Well the plot thickens! After a conversation with my mother (memory not always the best) today it transpires that Mabels husband might have been Edwin not Edward so I am wondering if the Robert Edwin Seymour is in fact her husband. She herself was named Gertrude but always called Mabel. Why oh why didn't they use their birth names!! I think this avenue definitely needs further investigation although as Robert Edwin was born in India and I don't have worldwide Ancestry I may need some help please.
I would be grateful for any help, thank you.

By the way 603 Antrim road where Mabel died is a nursing home.

mgnv, thank you. I should have worked it out myself, I wasn't thinking straight.

The conventional calculation of dob for Mabel, Margt, Robt from the cemetery gives 1893, 1877, 1895.
The census gives mother Margt 1878 and son Robt 1896.

I would guess they're Mabel's ma-in-law & bro-in-law.
.

Would it be safe to assume that Robert Edwin Seymour and Margaret Seymour both of 19 Alliance avenue would be Mabels sister in law and nephew as they are all buried in same plot?

Maura thank you for your help. While I still cannot find the marriage, I have today been able to confirm the burial is my Mabel so I now know what area to focus my search in.

Alan,many thanks for your efforts. I'm in Channel Islands which makes visiting records office impossible.

Cath

sorry cath,
ive tried various sites, but nothing.
are you in ireland or england?
coz surely there must be a BMD office in belfast.
it could be worth looking into, best of luck.

Will carry on looking tomorrow.
