Hi Trying to locate Anne Walsh b around late 1960s early 1970, she did live in Luton, also her son Daniel b around 1990/91. Anne worked at Luton Airport. Many thanks

Not enough info.

Did she marry? If so what was her married name? Does either Anne or Daniel have a middle name.

Without knowing it would be difficult to trace her through the Electioral Rolls, which I presume you have tried.

I’m sure you’ve been told about freebmd - try doing a bit of investigation on that.

Please say what you have done yourself to try to find her


You can’t really expect someone else to look for her if you’ve done nothing

Do not know re m or middle names, her parents were James & Aileen, tried BMD & electoral lists

As you know the parents, you should have no difficulty in finding her birth

If they are deceased, get copy death certs to see whether Anne registered either of them

You haven’t said whether Walsh was her maiden name, or married name. Presumably, you know :-S :-S

I told you earlier today that you hadn’t given enough information and yet you didn’t really add anything useful.

I mentioned freebmd, did you mean that when you said BMD or could it have been UKBMD. You need to be clear.

If Walsh is her married name how can you be sure that none of the 200 Anne Walsh entries on 192 ( electoral roll) are not her?

Without further info, and on the big (HUGE) assumption that her parents lived in Luton:

??
Marriages Mar 1944 (>99%)
FOLEY Eileen Walsh Bedford 3b 678
WALSH James Foley Bedford 3b 678


A child named Anne M Walsh (mmn Foley) was born in 1964 in Luton.

Siblings: James C Walsh, registered 1947 in Bedford RD, and Mary E Walsh, 1945 Bedford.

In 1968, James, Eileen, James C and Mary E were living at 77 Stopsley Way, Luton.
In 1969, James Eileen and James C were still at that address.
In 1970, James, Eileen, and James C were at 34 Lyndhurst Road, Luton.


I have absolutely no idea if this is the correct family or not.


ADDED:

Anne M Walsh , born c1964, was at a Luton address in 2013-14
In 2015, at the same address was a Daniel Walsh, born c1991 - with a middle name which I'm not posting here.

His birth in 1991, with the middle name which is stated on the ER, and with mmn Walsh, is on the GRO site and Ancestry, but not on FreeBMD

The Luton address doesn't seem to have been sold since 2015 - unless possibly very recently.

Are you confirming that AG has the right family?

Unusual to have Aileen instead of Eileen, it is more often the other way round.

I have a friend whose name is spelled Eileen , but who pronounces it Aileen.

But I agree it's more usually pronounced "Eye-leen".
