James, if you Google "Christine Grace Sadler" you will see where the info came from.

Oh, an unclaimed estate, I see.

I wonder who she was. I can't find a birth for her.

I tried to use to free BMD but it is very complicated for me. I just paid £9.45 for her birth certificate.

There are several probable marriages for your Uncle Percy's son of the same name, it seems, but although he is probably still alive I have not yet been able to find an address for him.

I haven't been able to find anything about the lady you mentioned in post #33 of this thread. Might she have been a Sadler by marriage?

Christine Grace Sadler was a spinster living somewhere in Bedfordshire.

But whose birth certificate did you order? What details did you look for?

Before you spend money on certificates, it might be an idea to try to confirm details here first.

I only know date of birth and death for Christine Grace plus born in Dunstable.

The information posted on the Bona Vacantia site will be the information given by the informant who registered her death. This information may be incorrect.

Albert, where did you apply to for Christine's birth certificate?

I did it about one hour ago. I think it is called the GRO. I used it last week but forget why!!!

Well, I'm afraid the GRO won't find anything because there is no entry on their index.

The records held at the GRO are copies of what is held at the local register offices where events are registered. Very occasionally records are 'lost' between the local offices and the GRO. If you want to be completely certain there is no birth registration in the name Christine Grace Sadler you would need to apply to the local register office who hold the birth records for Dunstable in 1946. This is either Luton:

The Register Office, 6 George Street West, Luton LU1 2BJ

[email protected]

or Central Bedfordshire:

The Register Office, Pilgrim Centre, 20 Brickhill Drive, Bedford MK41 7PZ

[email protected]

(it's not possible to know which office has the records without contacting them)

There's a remote chance they might have a record which is not at the GRO.

If the estate was large there's every chance some heir hunter company will have already done this and found nothing.
