Hi
I'm fairly new to this whole thing but did think I was starting to find my feet with free bmd and other sites but I think I must be doing something badly wrong as unless I have an 140 year old great great grandad roaming around I just can't find the death record!
Does anyone have any ideas that might be able to help me??
I'm looking for the death record of Ernest Arthur Gamwell who was born in 1870 in Hull but moved to Birmingham as a child. I have him living in Birmingham up until the 1911 census and have no inkling of his age when he died or anything!
I've searched free bmd and can't see anything!
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Sarah

Re: Can't find a death record!!
Thanks Jimmy
I did have that information from when I was doing some research before, thank you though!
It was Annette Mary Harley that Ernest married and in the 1891 census they've got her mother and brothers and sisters living with them! I'm curious about that one!!
Thanks again!

It's not uncommon for relatives to be living together. I've got a lot who are together, extended families were closer then than they are today. Sometimes they may be visiting, and sometimes their circumstances may such that they've had to move in with family - may be that her father was dead, or prison, or serving in the military.
I have some census, where people are down as visitors, and some where it looks as though they are living at that address, it depends on how good the person recording the information was.

Don't feel sheepish -- we all hit brickwalls in different ways and another pair of eyes just looks in a slightly different place and up pop those missing records!
