Much thought will be going into the next step for his brother.

Aswell as a well thought a out letter.

Thank you for your help I just hope that with the information I now have I can find Maurice.

Best wishes

DO take care about how you make contact with this person Vikki - please give it some thought first.

These are living people with families of their own - they may not welcome things being brought up from the past ??

On the other hand, they may be very pleased to hear from you, but consider their age and the length of time since the last contact.

Take care and good luck,

Dea x

Thanks

Oooo That means I have a address which is only 20 minutes away ekkk

You are right - Ancestry has transcribed it as Rose, and I have to admit, the image was not clear on Free BMD where it is Ross.

However, I have checked on another site with a clear image and it is certainly Ross.

thanks people

Dea I know he had a sister but when i looked at the birth certificate im reading it as Ross not Rose??
Also if its Ross then i have a address for him that someone has found.

I do know that Eda was widowed when she lived in Cavendish Sudbury and i believe she went on to remarry.

Thanks people your stars

I am not seeing an obvious death for Ena but she may have died after 2005. I was hoping to find that as the informant details may have been helpful.

Thanks Dea

Sadly that is what i thought to, which is a real shame as someone had found a exact living match this morning for me matching the old birth certificate :(

So here's hoping all you good people can help again :)
And in a few days shall be closer once again to finding him.

Thanks Vikki

O.K. then,

If you are sure you have the correct marriage cert, then the birth cert you have is not the correct one and all the info previously given was regarding 'that' Maurice so can also now be discounted.

We shall have to start again............

This birth now looks more likely:

Maurice S Baker
Mother's Maiden Surname: Mason
Date of Registration: Jul Aug Sep 1935
Registration district: Lexden
Registration county: Essex, Suffolk
Volume Number: 4a
Page Number: 1331

Thanks people.

The best help would be if I could get in touch with Maurice or atleast find out if he is still alive failing this just to find a lead to him though the other family members thanks for all the help I have managed to find a possible nephew who was the son of Terence who sadly died when he was 3 months old and hopefully this could lead to more info.

It was too late by the time Vikki had done so............and surely you noticed that I had edited the late ones

I intentionally didn't post details of those births as several of them are hopefully still living given the birth years..........or perhaps I am just fortunate enough to have friends and family still alive that were born before any of those!
