Would anyone know of any living relatives of the following siblings of my grandad John James Whalley (c1881). The family living with parents James and Mary Ellen (nee Mercer) at 27 Coddington St., Blackburn in 1901.

Elizabeth Ellen Whalley (c1875). Believe she married John Oldham in 1904. Children Phyllis and Robert (could be twins) born 1910 and Elizabeth also died in 1910. John Oldham (widower) is living as a lodger in Bury in 1911.
Mary Alice Whalley (c1885)
Jane Whalley (c1890)
Either of the above two sisters could have married a Hargreaves and had a daughter Majorie who married a Raymond Price in 1950.
Also any living relative of Norman Whalley (1934), son of William and Mary Alice (Molly), nee eddleston, Whalley. I believe he married Mabel Clarkson in 1958 and died in 1972. I know he had at least one son.

Have you tried putting these names into 'search trees' above, in case anyone shares this family?

You can find a son for Norman Whalley and Mabel Clarkson, by searching for births for those 2 surnames in free bmd.
If you then look for that name in people's trees on here, he is in someone's tree.

It's unlikely in the extreme that anyone with knowledge will just happen to see your post

Try researching them - LancsBMD is a good site to use in addition to freebmd

Be pro-active - look in 'search trees' - as suggested above

Hi Patchem

Havr found the Norman Whalley/ Mabel Clarkson son in the Free BMD. There was one match in the search trees which looked hopeful so I have sent a message.
Tks
