Many thanks again Shirley - I have composed a letter to Claire giving her the option whether or not to reply - so will see what happens. Best wishes. Viv

He may have been known as Anthony but the marriage record has him as Ernest A

Many thanks for your assistance. I feel others are doing the spade work for me! Do you mean that I could contact Diane M through Genes Reunited? Just wondering where you are doing your research - am very grateful for any assistance given to me. Viv P S (Diane's father was Anthony)

I can see a marriage for Diane M, but not for Claire E.
Claire E may be showing on the ER in Yorkshire (not the Claire E who is married to Dean)
Have you considered contacting her?

Many thanks. Yes according to my other cousin (Rita's sister) she did have two daughters Diane Margaret and Claire Elizabeth. So, from what you are saying it would seem that my Rita could still be alive? Many thanks for all your info. I am just getting back into my family history on a small scale after a break away from it.

This must be her birth so unlikely that death is correct:

Births Mar 1931
Cross Rita Scott Sculcoates 9d 356

Who were her parents? Not seeing a RIta Cross with a birth that matches that death record.

I am interested in finding my cousin. I was bridesmaid at her wedding in the early 1950's I think, together with her sister Shirley. Think she may have lived in the York area - originally from Hull
