Find Living Relatives

Trying to find any relations of James William Westley Perrier born 1919 died 1967 his parent where James Tidy Perrier 1896 - 1969 & Ethel Perrier Nee Westley 1889 - 1945 after Ethel died James married Minnie Edna Griffiths 1907 - 1987 if any one can help us with any information on either part of the family as James William Westley Perrier was my father but I have no pictures or know of anyone that knew of him. I do know that he died on route to Hospital in the Chichester Area and Minnie we think died in the Eastbourne area.

Do you have your father's death certificate? If not it might be worth buying it as the informant may be a relative:-

I can't see a marriage for him at all.

Brian,

As your father was an only child it is probable that you will need first to go back to find his fathers siblings and then forward to see what became of them and whether they have any descendants who might be able to assist you with information or maybe even family photos.

There are 2 people on here with Violet in their tree, one of them being you.

Thank you all for help but tried researching back as well William Samuel Perrier died 1916 at war and any one that has Violet Perrier in there tree on has her because of marriage to Mr Wilkinson and they have no information. I do know that the spelling of surname changed when you go backwards to Peryer but still hoping we can connect with the Chichester Perrier,s or anyone that might have worked with my father as the last contact any of my family had with him was in 1953 and that was just before I was put into Dr Barnadoe,s

If you know where he worked, look at Friends reunited - it has a workplace section

Violet and Wilkinson produced three children

Have you checked to see whether your father left a will? Wills are often rich sources of information.

Any chance of feedback?
