oh you are so kind..... this being your window of opportunity to sleep, and you are still taking the time to help me............

i emailed one of the possible half cousins as she showed as having a tree which featured her, her possible brother, and her possible mother....!

don't worry i am not getting my hopes up, but i felt it was worth a try as the link is through her/my grandfather.

and on that subject.... you made mention that it seemed he had been married three times.... to my grandmother, then to the lady in 1952.... where does the other one fit in, or did that not end up being the case?

and is there any way of finding out whether Michael maried again after 1966? i think he would have stayed around the same area because of his job at the time.

but don't bother about this now.......... get some sleep!

Hey Jackie

Still here, i'm wide awake right now... hazzard of the job lol

For your Grandfather he also married in 1942 !

As for your father, there isn't much chance of finding that out if he remarried as he could have shortened his name and did not include all his initials. It's the naming history that made the possible sibling stick out.....and as you have that data the naming of his possible son followed that naming pattern.

If i am right and we have found the possible uncle's family (your cousins) then his wife (widow) is still alive and we might have a phone number for her.

Like i say i have given the data to Dea to look over before we pass it on. There is ever chance you could be calling her over the next few days and try to establish whether she is who we think she is.

There is also a good chance she isn't :-(...or indeed a fairly good chance wandering was in the blood and your uncle wandered off too!!

Ahhh now we thought we might have found a possible for the 'Ray' you were looking for.

I think we have left him in the possibles pile for after this first lot!

Well, I expect you two are still in bed having been up half the night chatting !! - At least 'I' was a good girl and got a decent night's sleep.

Anyway, I have pm'd you the contact details which Tracey brilliantly found for your Aunt + cousin.

Please think carefully about how you are going to make contact - remember, you do not know the circumstances of their lives and relationship with your family and they probably don't know who you are.
It can come as a shock so tread carefully !

Best of luck.

Let us know how you get on.

ok, not having much success with finding Raymond. Time to try another angle. I am going to open up another thread, this time looking for the lady I believe to be his mother.
