Those sisters are in south east London and your family were in Sussex so very unlikely to be connected


I originate from that area of south east London so know it well !

Hi. Just update on my findings

Douglas mcdonald wyatt born 1931-1995 Cuckfield mum Florence Emma Blake
Father Douglas John Wyatt

Douglas John Wyatt had a year later in 1932 a son also called Douglas John Wyatt with a Laura E Standing.

I'm.in touch now with a daughter of Douglas John Wyatt 1932 and confirmed.

Sadly the wyatt family gene all suffer with Muscular Dystrophy I found that not only my Grandad Douglas McDonald Wyatt had Muscular dystrophy as well as my mum and her 3 sisters, but also Douglas John wyatt 1932 was also affected with the same gene and passed to his family :(

Still no luck on finding Florence Emma Blake, I'm stuck on this one
