It what way are you looking for them

Freebmd holds births etc and from sept qtr they show the mmn

The 1939 register will show open records for people whose deaths has been picked up after then

Have you looked for them on the 1939 Register?

(That's assuming they lived in England or Wales.)

If you give us some names, dates, and places, we can have a look.

Are those the family members you hoped to find, Nigel, or are there others we can help you with?


LATER:
Nigel has PM'd me a couple of names, but I've replied privately with 1939 and other records.
They don't appear to be immediate relatives of the family whose records Erika has posted here.
Different surnames; different part of England.
