Patricia Southgate (maiden name wills) was 100% his sister she was living with him in Richmond but when he passed away she move don't know where too. His neighbour told me this also the creamatorium told me his sister Patricia Southgate arranged everything when he died.
A Tracy WELLS picked up his ashes they said she was a family friend.

You need to get the Wills/Miller marriage certificate to check it is the correct person, and that Miller is her maiden name.

It wasn't a spelling mistake, Kim

If you take a moment to read your post - you will see what the problem was with the names you gave

However, my real issue with you was your assuming that any of the willing helpers on GR might be a time-waster - when you have no experience of this site.

Some of that info is far too recent, to post 'online'

Edit: Sorry Patchem, I didnt read it correctly and missed the deaths.ooops!

This is the Platford/Wills marriage;
Marriages Mar 1949
Platford Phyllis Wills Surrey N 5g 747
Wills James E F Platford Surrey N. 5g 747

so this could be the Platford birth:
Births Jun 1929
Platford Phyllis Davis Richmond S. 2a 924

If Phyllis did not die, but divorced, this could be her next marriage:
Phyllis Wills
Spouse Surname: Sheriston
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1963
Registration district: Middlesex South
Inferred County: Middlesex
Volume Number: 5f
Page Number: 142

and then this could be her death, which ties in rather nicely with her birth:
Phyllis Sheriston
Birth Date: 19 Apr 1929
Date of Registration: Jul 1986
Age at Death: 57
Registration district: Nottingham
Inferred County: Nottinghamshire
Volume: 8
Page: 592

But this is all speculative, and she could still be alive under Wills or another name.

The Platford marriage: looks like that is her maiden name as there is a birth for someone of suitable age and area showing on free bmd. So possibly no children from that marriage.

Where did the information about Patricia Southgate come from?
Thanks

To look for children you are looking for births with surname Wills, and mother's maiden name from the marriage.
However, if the wife has been married before then Platford or Miller might not be her maiden name, and the births will not be obvious.
Miller is a fairly common surname, so you are looking for births after 1965, and possibly in the same region as the marriage.
I could see no Wills/Platford births, but quite a few Wills/Miller ones but not in the correct area. However there is a Tracey, born slightly early, i.e. 6 months before marriage and Tracey Wills in Kettering, so possibly coincidence.

As I said before, have you got the marriage certificates?
As you have not, perhaps you should get them to confirm correct people.
