Find Living Relatives

Sarah Jane Staples was born at Middlesbrough on 4th July 1966 and relatives in Australia would love to get in touch with Sarah.
Any information would be so much appreciated.
Many thanks

Have you looked in 'search trees' on here?

Yes had long communication with one possibility but she proved to be a 'different' Sarah .......

What about friends reunited and facebook?

Have tried both those options but with no success - am running out of ideas ......

I see her mother was unmarried at the time so odds are her surname changed.

Do you know her mother's name? Was Sarah adopted? More info. would help.

H Rose,
Sarah Jane's mother was called Maureen Staples and Sarah was not adopted. Sarah and her mother lived in the Middlesbrough area and Sarah married Andrew John Smith on 30th July 1988 at St. Barnabas Church, Middlesbrough.

Have you tried the street search option on FR? You might locate a neighbour at least.

Thanks for the suggestion but another family member has tried that and has also written a letter to the last known address (1988) but no success .... . Have found that Maureen Staples married a Colin Evans (such a pity that both 'girls' married into families with 'common' surnames

Not seeing any Smith children with MMN born in Middlesbrough.

Colin has the middle initial G though.

Rose

Thanks for your further advice, Rose.
Think Colin's middle name may be Gilbert but other than details of their marriage in 1968, I don't seem to be able to find further details of them either .....

This looks to be Maureen's parents:

Marriages Jun 1934
Carney Jessie Staples Middlesbro' 9d 1430
Staples Alec V Carney Middlesbro' 9d 1430

Rose

Did Maureen and Colin have a son?

Rose

That sounds feasible and may give me another option to see if anyone has them on their tree so subsequently can ask 'maybe' a family member ....
Thanks again Rose for your help and advice
Kind regards
Sue

Susan,

There was a son born in the correct district in 1970. He's on 192.com
Middle name is the same as Maureen's dad's middle name so I think he must be Maureen and Colin's son.

You can get more details of the address here.

Hi Rose,

Kind regards and thanks

Hi, I am aware this is an old thread. My mum is Sarah Smith nee Staples.

I have been doing family tree research and would love to connect to other relatives.

Her brother is Simon Evans born to Colin and Maureen

To try to contact Susan, click on her name and send a message through GR

IF she still has the e-mail she registered in 2011, she will be notified and have the chance to respond
