Please can someone help me with an ancestry lookup- my ancestry has expired, I'm waiting for the 1851 census before I renew as I thought I'd exhausted use for now--until I spotted two entries on the (padlocked to me) one world tree. The two people I'm after are:- OneWorldTree Trees Name: Wendy Ruth Carrell Parents: name Carrell, surname Spouse: name surname OneWorldTree Trees Name: Robert Barry Carrell Birth: city Lancs Death: BC Canada Parents: Robert Carrell, surname The reason I'm so interested is that they are cousins of my father's. Yours hopefully. Jacquie

Thank you for looking - drat that the submitter info is not on it as it can only be from that branch - definately not mine! Sorry to bother you again but does in link in with Barbara Ellen Sanderson/Robert Carrell/ Ruth Ellen Overton/Brooks? Thought I'd found her (Wendy)double drat!

Carol thanks That Wendy Sue is another lady- Wendy Ruth is listed if both forenames are typed in - but her brother Robert Barry died BC Canada. Both are the children of Robert Carrell and Barbara Ellen Sanderson. Many thanks for both your help Jacquie

That's fantastic- an idea where to look for her now - possible North America/Canada (where her brother looks to have died) - should keep me busy for a couple of years - already been through all the English GRO for her!! Thanks again Jacquie

Well, he must like wedding cake! Herfatherwas like that(got married really quickly after her mother died), her Grandad was like that as well. Bad luck to land one the same too. Thanks Jacquie

Firstly to all those who helped last night. I was so desprate to follow up these new leads that I had a brainwave to purchase somecreditsonly (only £7, beats the full whack with Christmas coming up etc). I was then able to email this daughter of the Wendy I'm trying to chase up - so fingers crossed!!! If she replies she's in for a treat as I have piccies of her Gt Grandad and even her Gt Gt Grandad- not to mention everyone else. That American Ancestry One World tree is so weird - it seemed to give me the option of amending other peoples trees! Fingers crossed. Jacquie
