Hi there, I am looking for any help anyone can give me in finding any relatives still living from this lady.

I know that she is the second wife of my Great Grandfather Charles Godwin Dawkins and they are buried together in his grave.

Maud Alice was married before and widowed toa gentleman i think called Wilkes?

The marriage to Charles Godwin Dawkins was in 1946. Maud's surname on this marriage record is Wilcox (spelled with one "l")

The first marriage found by Sanny seems to be correct.

I can't find any likely children from either marriage. Was Charles married before because you must be descended from a child of his?

EDIT - just realised that you DO say it was his second marriage.

Thank you Kath & Sonny.
Yes Charles Dawkins was married to Minnie Anderson but divorced, he then married Maud Alice Wilcox nee Pearce in 1946.

I know that Maud's father was Benjamin and he was a naval officer.

I'm trying to find out if Maud had any children by her 1st marriage and I guess that there is no telling if Charles fathered anymore children before he met maud, as there is years gap between his divorce and 2nd marriage!
I think Maud died in the 70's (sonny)

I can't see any children born to Maud's first marriage and your grandad seems to be the only child from Charles's first marriage.
