Have you looked to see if anyone has these people in their trees?

Have you looked to see if any of these people are in anyone's tree on genes?

If they are, you can then attempt to contact the tree owners for more information.

Have you looked for marriages and descendants, as you are on the Find Living Relatives board, and there could be very many living relatives.

Could you say how you are related to them?

Thank-you

As this location is shown as "Find Living Relatives", that is what I was looking for. I have the complete family history from 1911 back to Scotland but wish to move forwards.
Thanks for all your help so far.

Could you say which family member you are descended from - or none of them?

Have you got marriage and death certificates for them?

Have you looked to see if others on here have them in their trees?

Is this Daisy Hill?

Births Jun 1910
HILL Daisy Elizabeth Birkenhead 8a 479

Daisy E McKenzie
Birth Date: abt 1911
Date of Registration: Mar 1968
Age at Death: 57
Registration District: Wirral
Inferred County: Cheshire
Volume: 10a

Did you get the marriage certificate for more information - if she had been married before then we would be looking at totally the wrong names?

Have you looked for children of the marriage?

Have you actually found a marriage for Alfred H to Daisy in 1931 - I can't see one on freebmd? Nor can I see one 5 years either side.

Perhaps he married using just his middle name??

So just Henry according to his probate record - granted to his widow Daisy Elizabeth McKenzie:


Henry McKenzie
Probate Date:5 Oct 1965
Death Date:22 Mar 1965
Death Place:Birkenhead
Registry:Liverpool, England

Birth and marriage just registered under the name Henry, no mention of Alfred.
