Find Living Relatives

absolutely Sylvia

Wendy seems to be a very open person and I think that should help

given the generational difference ... might you want to ask one of your own children to make the first contact with her? it could be easier for them to break the ice and talk to her about it all

Thank you everyone for your help. I may pluck up the courage to use the more direct communication you have helped with. When you have spent 78 years thinking you are an "only child" it is a huge thing to discover you have siblings - several years younger than your own children. I'm sure most of you will appreciate that. Sylvia.

So unlikely she will open them now.....she may have just deleted the email notification...or possibly changed email address

I guess I am afraid of being intrusive!. So hope Wendy will contact me, but it looks like the messages have not been read.

Thank you Fairthorn ... but do you need to shout it in capitals? :-)

I guess Sylvia meant she is hoping 'Wendy will reply to my message' (or to the posts in this thread) via this website.

If Wendy no longer uses the email address she used to open the account here, that is not likely going to happen

finding people often means looking for them first ...

ALL THIS DATA DAUGHTER'S FACEBOOK ETC ADDRESS TELEPHONE NUMBER MARRIAGE

WAS SENT TO SYLVIA IN JAN

IT SEEMS SYLVIA WANTS WENDY TO CONTACT HER :-S


.QUOTE 10 Jan 2014

Thank you for this informative message. I am still hoping that Wendy will contact me. SWN

.EDIT ; WENDY IS STILL AT THAT ADDRESS RE BT WEBSITE

.

given the various names associated with the person I traced above (including Henley) (edit - same one jax is referring to), and the most recent locations of events, I think this has to be her

included in the friends list at this user's profile:

https://www.facebook.com/cherelle.newson/friends

and also in the friends list at this user's profile:

https://www.facebook.com/mandy.shone.1/friends

so I think that's a definite :-)

also

so various ways to contact her

Wendy married in 2005 and the address is in the west Midlands found on a company check in that married name also on the ER up until 2009 so may have moved since

Wendy also has three accounts on here

ah, Wendy remarried?

um ... more than once?

but the ER listing (no. 8 on the list) goes only to 2009 ... ?

many related people listed here

Wendy gave us her sister's name so it's easy to find her and her sister's births ... but after that not easy at all

she is Wendy EW
her sister is Mandy VP
her mum is Maureen B

and Wendy unfortunately married an extremely common surname from what I can tell

but Fairthorn found contact info? so, yes, have you used it Sylvia?

I can't see a marriage for Mandy or remarriage for Maureen ...


Wendy was eager to find cousins so we can imagine she would be at least as eager to find Sylvia


I'm not feeling particularly clever at the moment, maybe someone else can do better at finding Wendy or her sister or her mum in the present day if the info Fairthorn found didn't pan out ... maybe Fairthorn could just tell us the general area Wendy was found in?

So have you written to the address or phoned the number Fairthorn sent?

If your private message still has an envelope by the side she has not read it so she may have changed her email address.

Even if your paying membership lapses you will still be able to receive messages and reply to them

I just wanted to let all those people who kindly gave me advice back in January when I started - Jooniecloonie, patchem, Fairthorn,, Cynthia, know that nothing has come of my replies to Wendy. Disappointing, as after I had got over the initial shock discovering I had two new half sisters, I got quite excited at the thought. Or course there was a time lapse of almost 2 years before I saw the link on google,
There are a couple of months left of my temporary membership of GR so we'll see.
Thanks for your help. Sylvia

Pm received from Sylvia saying that she is prepared to be patient and wait to see if email achieves results.

It could be a large shock for all.....

TELEPHONE/ADDRESS CONTACT FOR WENDY SENT TO SYLVIA

Robert married in 1958


.

that's lovely, the benefit of personal memory!

Have sent a pm to Sylvia with some of the email received from Wendy as it is a really pleasant one.
Wendy was also new to genes.

If you don't hear back from Wendy, let us know right in this thread (which you can find any time by clicking on 'my threads' over on the left side) and there are many little gnomes here who will set to work to try to find her in real life for you :-)

and if you do hear from Wendy, let us know if you like because it is always good to hear an interesting happy ending !

oh and -- even if Wendy is no longer a paying member, she can reply to your message through the system if she gets the notice, but you may want to give her a regular email address when you write

Letting the paid subscription lapse means that a person can't initiate messages but they can reply to any messages they receive or have received in the past, I believe is how it works.

Looks as though it is the same then. I have sent a message to Wendy. I am new to genes re united and don't know how it works. Bearing in mind the message I originally saw is almost 2 years ago she may no longer be a member. What happens then?

Well there's a turn-up for the books. Was Robert married twice?

Only one Robert Henley Shone was born before 1911, 1909 in Pontypridd.

Sylvia, Wendy won't get notice of a reply in her thread (as happens at many other websites) and her message is dated nearly two years ago.

but you can click on her name and send her a message privately

if she still has the same email address she will get a notice of your message and she would probably be very pleased to hear from you.

My father also called Robert Henley shone, born 1909 in pontypridd. Ran a pub in Shepherds Bush. Possible same one? but I am 78.
