I have the brothers and sisters names Hilda, William, Arthur, Herbert, Lillian, Rose, William and Gertrude. I believe Rose is the only living relative and wrote a letter about two weeks ago but sadly no reply.....my father died when I was 10 and know their was a rift in the family, but no idea what this was about as dont know this side of my family..... Im now stuck...sadly my parents, aunts, unlces etc have passed away. Thank you for your help. |

Yes, all mine, amazing really I only thought he had two sisters!!!!! As youve probably guessed Im new to this, so need all the help I can get......How do I find my cousins.....I remember Aunt Lil (Lillian - she was the only one that spoke to us) and she had a daughter called Sandra who had two girls and two boys in the Basildon/Billericay area, and then another son by a different husband many many years later. Thats all, not much I know, so any help greatly appreciated. |

What a shame, if I understand this correctly it looks like one of the twins died a year old, how sad. |

Doesnt ring any bells, I thought she was still alive and living in NW10 area of London., which would be correct as I was born in NW10 area....plus her birth was registerd in Dec 1916. However, its a bit spooky as my mothers maiden name was Martin, but no brothers named Percy....Intrigued. |

Might not be her.It's difficult to know where they might have married so just thought I'd post that one as a possible. |

Do you know what Rose's married name is then? |

Athol certainly doesnt mean anything to me.....but interesting to note her birthday 21.1.1912.....my father Charles was 17.08.1912......I suppose my father could have been prem.??? Cld Hildas birth date be wrong???? My father married my mother in 1939....guess it happened alot at the beginning of the war? |

The birth date could be wrong it is given by the informant they may have not known.Your father could have been a prem baby but he must have been quite robust as I don't think the survival rate was very good back then. |

I've looked for any Healey/Burgess children and haven't found any yet. |

Forgot about survival rates and think its more likely that Hildas dob is wrong.......thank you so much for your help. |
