According to Zoopla, the house listed for your Uncle in 2002 hasn't been sold since then. They may have elected to have their names removed from the Commercial list.

Do you have the address? Sent by PM
...
As a seperate line of enquiry, Mark married a Tracey in 1983.

Try facebook as well as searching this site.

There is a possible marriage for Linda, but the other name given is normally used as a female name - it could have been mistranscibed and this is before Civil Registration. Those Partnerships are not on-line anyway

Have you written to the address?

+++DetEcTive+++

+++DetEcTive+++ Report 27 Aug 2013 12:48

PM from Edna. She has confirmed that the address sent to her last night is the one she has off 192.com.

Advised her to write and also to remove it from the thread.

Due to the circumstances given by PM, it is not adviseable to phone.

Names and yob also given for Mark R and Tracey's 2 children.

Will allow 10 mins before I 'report' the post with the address

+++DetEcTive+++

+++DetEcTive+++ Report 27 Aug 2013 13:15

Edna must be away from her computer - my most recent PM sent at 12:44 has not been opened.

As the address was the only additional information on Edna's post at 12:28, there shouldn't be any reason not to 'report' to protect William and Gloria's privacy

Apologies for error in post.I am so new to this I had no idea it was wrong to post an adress.It has now been removed and the people I was researching have not lived at that address since the start of this century.I am pleased that users are keeping me straight and appreciate the help given.

Also trying to find offspring of Olive Emily Canham born 1919,married I think to Watson Hartley in Northumberland in 1948.

+++DetEcTive+++ Report 27 Aug 2013 23:06

Assuming you have inside knowledge that Olive married Watson Hartley (have you bought the MC?) they only had one child.

She is shown on GR records and freebmd as being born in 1949.

freebmd is free to search
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Olive's birth
Births Mar 1919 (>99%)
Canham Olive E E Bolingbroke Tynemouth 10b 399

Marriage
Jun 1948
Canham Olive Hartley Millom 1a 287
Canham Olive E E B Hartley Millom 1a 287

Hartley Watson Canham Millom 1a 287

For some reason Olive has two entries on the index - lets hope that it is the same person and not 2 with the same forename!

The child married a Boyle in 1969 in Manchester.

I can't find them on any ER.

Details of a child b 1970 Manchester PM'd

PM from Edna - she had not realised that people could 'opt out' of the commercial listed ER's hence the confusion and belief that Wiliam and Gloria had probably moved or passed on. :-)
