    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: BelleRinger Surnames: Eastwood Classification: biography Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.researchresources.brick-20-walls/187.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: OK, well you could try a different tack. If you search for Llewellyn Eastwood on Ancestry, in the Historical Records and Family Trees, you come up with a few hits which I guess will be your man, as the only Family Tree which brings up his full name is yours (born 1878 in Retford). There is a death index entry which looks likely, so he may have come back to live in the UK later in life: Death 1944 Apr-May-Jun EASTWOOD, Llewellyn J, aged 66, Bridge, 2a 1504 You could try ordering the death certificate - if his wife survived him, she could well be the informant, but it's a bit of a gamble. Another couple of search results are for UK Incoming Passenger Lists, and I suspect they're both for your man. One is 1925, and shows Llewellyn with Catherine Eastwood, aged 42, and Kathleen Eastwood, aged 18. The other is 1927, and shows Llewellyn with Kathleen V, aged 44, and Sheila, aged 17. Whether Catherine and Kathleen V are the same person, I don't know, although it seems reasonably likely. However, you could try ordering one of the birth certificates of the two girls, who were presumably Llewellyn's daughters, and that would tell you the name of their mother. So from the above, Kathleen was born approx 1907 and Sheila approx 1910. Their birth index entries are both on the same GRO Overseas index page: Consular Births 1906-1910 EASTWOOD Kathleen I, Consulate: Tantah, Page: 1289 EASTWOOD Sheila, Consulate: Tantah, Page: 1295 or 1296 (could be either, it's not very clear) Christine Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
