This is one of the joys of the 1939 register - it throws up the unexpected!

Between 1933 and 1942 the Street Directories show a Miss K DIXON at the same address as the BROWN family but she is not included on the 1939 Register. 

The birth date of Ada M DARTNELL (Transcribed as DARTNEWLL) is given as Dec 29 1892 and she is described as a widow. The entry for Barbara DARTNELL born Sept 6 1927 was updated 15:4:1950 to give her married name of GRAINGER. 

The birthdate of Wilfred M BROWN is incorrectly transcribed as 16 Dec 1920 - the original shows 16 Dec 1860. 

That's interesting, Pat.

I have Ada Mary DARTNELL (nee GALE) and her daughter Barbara J. in my tree. Ada was born in Portishead in 1892 and was widowed in 1934.

Are you able to provide any more details to enable me to tie them in please? (I don't have access to the 1939 register currently.)

Pat thanks for the work David and yourself have done, I am very grateful. 

Thanks Bill, but I was unable to access the photo.

David Tyler looked through the Street Directories for you today and found that this family appears at 15 Trewartha Park from 1910 until 1919 and then appears in 31 Trewartha Park from 1920 until 1949.  There were not any earlier ones available. 

He also looked at the Electoral Rolls and in 1937 the following were living at 31 Trewartha Park and eligible to vote - Wilfred & Emily BROWN, Katherine DIXON and Elizabeth MILVERTON.  On the 1939 Register at the same address there are Wilfred and Emily BROWN, Ada DARTNELL (described as a working Housekeeper) and Barbara DARTNELL who was probably her daughter.

Wilfred and Emily BROWN were both buried in Weston Cemetery - Plot C98 - Wilfred on 22nd Nov 1950 and Emily, who died in 1954.
