Gillian was alive in 2012 when she published her book, no idea where are they living in USA or still in England? Anyone please? About Gillian Vaughan : A Facebook user said that she now goes by the name O’Connor (which make sense since Vaughan was married to Des O’Connor) and gives us the link to her FB page. Last post on 6 May 2023. And there’s this obit about a Gillian O’Connor who died on September 2023 at 86. The age match, but O’Connor is a common name… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imhotep 34 Posted December 2 Does anyone have any further info on American child actress Norma Gene Nelson (born 1931)? - not to be confused with Norma Jean Nilsson, another child performer born seven years later. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3063632/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_0_nm_2_in_0_q_norma%2520gene%2520nelson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have some news Patricia Unertl who died on 4 October 2021 is not Patricia Michon, the actress. I received a message from Samuel Clemmens. He did some research and found out that Patricia Michon moved to England and got married there. The good thing is that he tracked what happened to her. According to him, she died in 2015 under the name Patricia Westwood. He sent me this He claimed she was married to actor Patrick Westwood who died two years later in 2017. I was very surprised to learn that beacuse none of their IMDbs have any information about their subsequent marriages other than their first divorce. Samuel told me that they did a television episode in the early 1960s. I'm assuming that's how they met. Here: That's all, as you know I don't have access to GRO and I believe you can see if you check the year 2015, what was her real birth date and age. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,843 Posted December 3 Hmmmm this one is tricky. There are 3 name matches in the GRO for 2015: Now, looking at the screenshot you sent above, she was buried in Birmingham. Birmingham is near Staffordshire, but she cannot be born 1947, as she first married in 1952! So is she one of the last two? That still makes her only 17/18 at the time of her first marriage. Are we sure?

LWCZ 218 Posted December 5 On 12/10/2024 at 21:37, LWCZ said: Seems that after almost 6 months of searching I finally found some more information on George McFadden. George W. McFadden (George Washington McFadden?) was born around 1922 in South Carolina, lived in Pennsylvania in 1940s (according to the census, two of his children were born there; also checks out with him joining The Jubalaires in 1941), and then moved to Los Angeles some time before 1950 (the 1950 census shows his occupation as "singer", so I strongly believe it's him, also checks out). I still haven't found anything on his death but I'm sure I'm getting close. Alright, looks like I finally found him. As I stated in the previous post, McFadden was born around 1922 in South Carolina, lived in Pennsylvania in the 1940s and moved to Los Angeles around 1950. I did some digging and found a 1942 Pennsylvania draft registration for a George McFadden born on November 24, 1921, in South Carolina (which would coincide with his time in Pennsylvania). Furthermore (and perhaps most importantly), there is a death record of George Washington McFadden, who was born on November 24, 1921, in South Carolina, and died on January 30, 1990, in Los Angeles (also coinciding with his later life in California). I strongly believe it's him, meaning he was in fact the second original member of The Jubalaires to pass away. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Received media coverage in 2009 aged 90 and in 2010 aged 91. So what the hell happened to her? No trace anywhere, and this one is really bugging me. So as we concluded earlier, Ruby Chappelle Boyd WAS alive when I posted this query. However, she died the following month, aged 105. Death notice. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The birth date doesn't quite line up, as the person here would've been born in 1921 or 1922, instead of 1924. However, someone left a message less than a month after the death which shows they thought it was the actress in question: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/louisville/name/eunice-christopher-obituary?id=22763568 I don't think this Eunice is the actress, that message could be written by anyone who has no info and is not a verifiable source or help. Same thing happened to actress Elvera Corona who allegedly is this woman according to the comments below, but no off course is not her cause the DOB is different and she is alive and live under name Elvira Amaya and survived her husband too. BTW I got an info that Eunice Christopher (IMDb) was born as Eunice Janette Clements on the same date July 26, 1924 in Saratoga, NY She had a twin sister named Elizabeth Jane Clements who died in 2003. Her parents were Frank Ira Clements (1878–1945) and Elizabeth E. Slade (1883–1954) She was married to someone called Pasquale "Pat" Christopher (1927–?), but I think they divorced. Eunice Christopher died in 2008 in California. I think this should be useful to track further her for a full detail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strongly doubt they are really alive. Hamad Ubayd died in a Damascus hospital back in 2005 according to this. Born 1924 instead of 1928, too. There's one seemingly shady site that says al-Hariri died in 2015. If that's true only Jaber is a "might be alive" case, but he was seemingly forcibly retired a few years after his tenure... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
