Flo was my grandmother.

Is there a tab somewhere that I am missing seeing that gives siblings names?

I've been doing it for a while, Tracey.........lol!

Which of the females was your grandmother?

HOW DID YOU DO THAT???? It has taken me forever to get all that info...please let me in on your secrets (and websites)

Do you think that I have the right brother to:

Florence Mary Rimell b 1909
(Ethel) Irene Rimell b 1905

I guessed and looked inbetween the two of these, and came up with Ernest, do you think I have the right person?

Ernest George Rimell (1907) was born in Stow on the Wold district........

Florence Mary (1909) was born in Pershore district

Ethel Irene (1905) was born in Stow district

You can't proceed with any hope of accuracy without getting certs, to establish parents' details.

It has taken me AAAAAALL day to find out that information...and you have just done that in literally minutes!

Where am I going wrong in looking, and what are the tips on finding things that quick?

Where did you find all of that information Reggie? The only information that I have is this:

1918 July August September
Rimmel Ernest G Age 13 Worcester 6c 144

Am I on the wrong website that doesnt give all the information?

OK....found the death reg

Name: Ernest G Rimell
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1905
Year of Registration: 1918
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Age at Death: 13
District: Worcester
County: Hereford and Worcester, Worcestershire
Volume: 6c
Page: 144

Matching birth...........

Name: Ernest George Rimell
Year of Registration: 1905
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Upton Upon Severn
County: Worcestershire
Volume: 6c
Page: 315

Guessing isn't really a good idea....although it sometimes pays off.

Start with what you are sure of..........

Who is your grandmother?

In which country were these births?

I am trying to find a little information about my grandmothers brother (the name my dad could'nt remember, as he died before my dad was born). But by finding out dates of other siblings and sheer guesswork I have come up with a name. I have found his birth and also his death, but the dates dont tally by two years although everything else does.

What do you make of this?

Florence Mary Rimmel born 1909
(Ethel) Irene Rimmel born 1905

Ernest George Rimmel born 1907
0/N/D 4 Qtr

Ernest G Rimmel died 1918
J/A/S 3rd Qtr Aged 13

Even my maths aren't that bad that he should have been 11 and not 13.

Have I totally got the wrong person or can there be descrepences like this?

Plus, how can I find out if I have got the right name in the first place? All I am going on are the name and place of birth.

I am very new to this hobby and any tips on checking and double checking to make sure you have the right person would be gratefully received.

Thanks
Trace
