Father-in-laws Aunts & Uncles - where are they???

Trying to find information on my father-in-laws Aunts & Uncles

Thanks to the 1911 Census I have finally found a couple of names of my father-in-laws aunts and uncles who he has never met - in fact he never even knew any of their names.

We would like to know more about the lives and descendants of the following:

Laura Blakeman born 4/12/1907 Birmingham
William Blakeman born 29/09/1909 Birmingham
Evelyn May Blakeman born 19 Aril 1912 Birmingham

Also any information regarding what happened to their mother, Amy Blakeman nee Firkins after 1912 would also be appreciated.

There is a family story that she left the marital home with the children listed above and began a new life - is this true? She certainly does not appear on any electoral rolls with her husband in the 1920's - he is listed with two of his younger brothers and his eldest son (my father-in-laws Dad).

Fingers crossed and a hope in my heart :-))
