Find Living Relatives

.....

thanks :-)

Yes, that's the right marriage and birth.

It wasn't unusual for people to swap their forenames around. If you have any doubts then purchase their Birth certificates.

One of my great uncles was John Edward XXX. The only (distant) relative knew him as Eddy.

Now you have the names of potentially living relatives use the search all members trees to see if anyone else has them listed. Then send the tree owner a message Remember that GRs T&C says you shouldn't list them on your own without permission.

Albert m Olive Turner in 1940 Woolwich district
There are 2 x Morriss/Turner births listed onhttp://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

The 1948 child in Woolwich is probably theirs – the 1944 child in Macclesfield could be if Olive moved out of London for her confinement. Remember that 1944 was still during WW2

Hi.I was wondering about.Charles, Frederick and Elsie morriss.my grandfather adolphus siblings.did they have children.my grandad adolphus died in 1997 and I saw him regular when growing up until he died,I can't understand why he wasn't in contact with any of them,what happened? As when my dad died in 2011 I was surprised to see my dads aunts (mums side) that I didn't know about,Peggy and anne.its quite odd really as I was never told they were still alive

You can purchase credits to view (min £5) & download the image of the cremation register. It will give you his normal residence, place of death, and the name and address of the informant who could be a relative. At £2, It's cheaper than a DC.

There are a number of relatively recent Morriss cremations at Eltham Crematorium.

"For the purposes of the UK Data Protection Act, the names and addresses of cremation applicants and the addresses of the deceased during the last 15 years have been withheld from publication". (from 1997, the information is available as computerised data only)

glad you realised you had a duplicate thread Joanne ... I will add the link to this thread to that one so you don't have to delete it and leave people wondering where it went :-)

usually most people don't want to try to find their way around other people's family trees ... I know it makes me batty to do that !

best to ask specific questions about specific people if you have them

did you find any of the people you do know by searching trees and have you tried to contact the tree owners?

Reggie,hi,you can take a look at my tree if you have time, but not sure I remember how to give permission.

Thank you for your help.I will put the extra details on my tree.I still can't manage to get hold of living relatives, but will have a big push on Tuesday. Thank you again
