thank you moody blue willbe doing what you suggest let you know outcome

If Margaret doesn't respond, try sending a PM to Moody Blue - she obviously helped Margaret Rose to get in contact with sister Patricia - so may be willing to put you in touch with her.

Fingers crossed.

thanks to flip and heyjudeB4Beatles i have sent pm to margaret as suggested today
20/07 /2013 hope to here from her soon and desperate to find the truth :-) :-)

Susan I can only echo Flip's comment. DO make contact through pm to Margaret..her story is so heartening to find a long-lost sister. So if you are correct and you are a half sister - what a good news story :-)

Hi Susan,

Welcome to the boards.

It's been a few months since Margaret last posted on this thread, so may not be checking back. If you click on her name you can send her a PM (private message), that way Genes will send an e-mail to her registered address advising she has a message waiting.

Hope you manage to make contact.

Hi margaret, my name is sue percival (born perry) in 1954 .my mother and father didnt marry and my mother died in 1957 i have been researching family on fathers side ,i have found similarity as my father was sidney charles perry born 1913 ,his parents were albert earnest and minnie louise (foxwell) ,they lived at mill end takeley. there is a record of sidney marrying catherine vest on 19/10/1935 at bishops stortford registry office .i think there is a very strong possibility that we are half sisters and would like to make direct contact to hopefully find out for certain .

Oh Margaret, I'm so pleased for you - just re-read this thread as it dates back a while, but when I stated reading I remembered what you have been through.

It's great news, finding a sister after all this is so exciting, hope it goes well for you both.

good luck
Flip

Hoping that it is all that you are wishing for and that you both have a lovely future relationship. :-D :-)

What wonderful news.

Ime still searching

Hi Margaret Rose,

It's good you've got the file, but if we can find your mothers death (and possible te-marriage) you need to invest in her birth certificate.

Aren't Herts social services willing to do a search on your siblings for you? Most SS will, and at least place a letter on file or check if the siblings have already done so.

i have now recieved a file from herts archives dating back from my birth, it was kingsmead childrens home that myself and my siblings were placed and reading through it seems that we had a lucky escape from neglect. but would still desperatley like to find my siblings.

seemed to have tried all avenues, keephitting a brick wall , why is it so hard to find youre brothers and sisters!

It may be worth investing in her birth certificate - the most likely being this one:

Births Jun 1914 (>99%)

This should confirm actual dob for a search against death records (with just christian name) - assuming she died before 2007, and the person registering death knew her dob.

At least a list of names could give something to check against marriages. Also, if the correct death can be identified the person registering death may prove to be a lead.

thankyou its worth a try but ime not sure if she remarried at all x
