Find Living Relatives

Shirley, there are 3 possible Valerie A Gosling marriages, 1960-1964. I believe the one in question was 1963. It's Theresa's husband's mother's name you are asking about?

Theresa has not given the surname, I would assume that if she is looking for Valerie she does not object to it being posted, but I will leave it to you Theresa to do that if you wish.

The question would be whether she remarried and what her surname was when she moved overseas, and where she went. If you are looking for someone then her name and the known facts about her are essential :-)

If you click on my name and send me your email address then I will pass it on to him

If he is no longer a paying member he would not be able to reply on here or send you a message.....so will be best to do it this way


Edit- Forget the above I will send you his name and where to find him in the trees so you can contact him yourself

So what is their surname ?

Just looking for his mother, Valerie Ann. He lived with his father after she moved overseas, and they lost contact a while after that.

Are you also looking for your hubbies parents ? If so what is their surname

Thanks for the responses... am in NZ and new to this research!

Yes, I am sure this is the family we are looking for. I have just received the birth certificate yesterday for Valerie Ann (born Hastings) and would have 2 siblings, including Iris, born there and 2 others born in Edmonton.

My husband is from Enfield and this is where his parents lived when they married and had him. The details you have suggested above all fit. We didn't know about the divorce or second marriage, so this is helpful.

I saw that the original enquiry was on behalf of Iris and hopefully its not too late to follow this up. I would be really grateful if you could send a reply to your PM and hopefully put us in touch with Iris.

Many thanks!

Although I received a private message 2 years ago it wasn't actually from Iris....it was from someone else who was acting as a middleman as Iris does not have a computer.

If you want me to contact him to see if he can put you in touch let me know

Look on FreeBMD for Valerie's birth she has a brother and sister also born in Sussex. and a brother and sister born Edmonton

One sister is Iris. Would this be the lady you asked about too ?

Ties with her birth

Name: Nellie E Bigsby
Mother's Maiden Name: Smith
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1912
Registration District: Hackney
Inferred County: London
Volume: 1b

You say Fred and Nellie may be her parents ,well her birth cert will tell you who they are .

If you don't know for sure who the parents are then you may well follow the wrong family route

How does Iris Kerr fit in the family

Edit her birth reg certainly shows mmn Bigsby

I am also searching for any information for Frederick Charles Gosling who was married to Nellie Elizabeth Bigsby, or their children.

I am researching my husbands family history and his mother was Valerie Ann, born 1938. Frederick and Nellie may be her parents. He lost touch with his mother and her family many years ago.

Would appreciate any help to make contact with Iris Kerr, who is potentially his aunt.

Kind regards

How can you know he was born in Paddington and his mmn was Leach but not know the year he was born?

Is this his parents marriage?

:-S :-S


Hi Yes I have that same Marriage detail Reading 2c page 1044
He was born in Paddington His mothers Maiden name was Leach
Iris Kerr is researching this but has no PC so I am the middleman
any other info gratefully accepted

Regards Ray

Getting the marriage cert is a good idea for the fathers name, but if he lied about his age as my grandfather did, it would not help with the birth year.

Did you have a couple of siblings born in Edmonton?

could he have remarried abt 1959 in Market Harborough?

There are no deaths on Ancestry matching the info - for either suggested birth year

You need the marriage cert..for accurate birth year...
