Find Living Relatives

Hi Shirley
Thanks most sincerely for the large amount of information you have managed to find.
Frederick and Lillian were obviously a well-travelled couple.
From the new information you have obtained, I think we can glean that;:-
1) Frederick Freemantle was born in 1897
2) He was an electrical engineer by profession
3) He and Lillian had a daughter named Margaret who was born c1925 probably before the couple got married. Her place of birth is as yet unknown.
4) Lillian appears to have died sometime between 1938 and 1954 in a place as yet unknown
5) Frederick appears to have emigrated to South Africa in 1954 after he had retired.
Can you add anything to this?
Regards
Colin

I am trying to find any living relatives of my grandmother's youngest brother. He was William Rae who was born in1874 in Aberdeen, Scotland but spent some of his life working as a rice merchant in India and living in the south of England. He married Lillie Rettie in Aberdeen in 1905 and together they had one child Lillian Kathleen Rettie Rae who was born in Rangoon, India, the following year. The couple divorced in 1926 and I think that their daughter married a Frederick Freemantle in St Albans in 1928. I do not know if they had any children or what happened to her and her father after that..
Can anyone please help me?
