I am looking for any information in regard to my Donovan, Thomas, Sells and Beadle ancestors.
I am the youngest daughter in my family and have been interested in family history since my mother told me about her paternal grandparents. These mysteries fueled my love of family history and history in general.
Mum's grandmother was Jane Sells born abt 1872 and it is unknown when she died. Family stories say she was killed in the London Blitz around 1940/41 but I have found no records. Jane left my grandfather Thomas Edwin Beadle 1891-1969 with his paternal grandmother Annie (Heames) Beadle sometime between 1895 & 1901 where Thomas appears living with Annie on the 1901 England and Wales Census in Poplar, London.
Thomas' father Henry Beadle supposedly died at sea the year Thomas was born. This has been disproven as Henry is living in the same household as Thomas in 1901 & 1911 and near by in 1921, living with his older brother Joseph, according to census records. He obviously did not die in 1891 but sometime between 1921 and the time of the 1939 Register for WW2 as I can not find him there.
I would really like to solve this mystery!
