Find Living Relatives

I am trying to find the children of Bill and Margaret Jacques / Carter. Bill was an uncle who I never had the chance to meet.I believe he spent time in the navy.

Bill and my mother Violet were adopted by their grandparents Walter and Agnes Carter about 1926.

Hi Roberta.
Firstly, welcome to the boards.
Try looking for matches by using 'search trees' to see if there are any matches - use all names you have.
I assume Bill was William. The surname is a bit unclear? Were he and Margaret siblings?

Try freebmd for info -it covers up to around 1950

This photo matches the one I found after my Fathers death.I have a photo of Bill taken before we left England in 1949.

Bill Jacques married Margaret Jarvis in 1948. The surname is a bit of a worry,as William (Bill) and My mother Violet were adopted by their Grandparents Walter and Agnes Carter. During my mothers adolesent years she was known as Carter, but reverted to Jacques when she was 21.

My mother never spoke of her brother,so it was a surprise when I found a photo and an address in Essex. This did not lead me anywhere.So many thanks to those who replied to my posting

Roberta, I am not sure you meant to mark my posting as answered!
There are 4 births for Carter/Jarvis in the London area after 1948. I shall PM them to you. Obviously without getting the certs it isn't possible to say if they are your relatives. One is Woolwich so if you pursue any, I would go with that one.

Another thing. Do you know his exact birth date? If he happened to die 1970-2006 this can be used to search for the record on Ancestry.

I am wondering about your avatar Brummiejan?

Hi Jax.
I only wish I knew what an avatar is!!
Jan

Ok your profile photo

What I am wondering is.... When you said is this him?..... has Roberta looked at your photo and thought it was her family??

Oh I see, sorry Jax, bit of a computer numpty me.
Anyway, this is a photo of my grandparents plus my father and his sister. It was taken about 1927 I would say.
Is that you in your photo?
Jan

Yeah it is .... sorry I just edited my previous post

You are right, she did think we might be related, and sent me a PM. We aren't though!
