Find Living Relatives

Hi I am hoping someone somewhere can help me. I am desperately trying to find my father and keep coming to a dead end!
I am trying to trace Roger Howells born in 1947 I believe in Coventry, he married a lady called Linda Allard, they had 2 children Kerry and Tristan Howells, I believe Tristan was born in 1969 also in coventry, Roger's father was called Basil Howells born 1903 died 1979.
It has been said that Linda Kerry and Tristan moved to Zambia.
Roger was also with another lady called Joyce wood bridge who has sadly passed away.
Please can someone help me

Pandora Blair

maiden name Curtlin birth name Teasdale

have you found the death for Joyce? maybe Roger was the informant on the cert


Edit He married Joyce in 1982 Coventry she was born in 1951

not seeing a death for her

Welcome to the boards, Pandora.

Is this the marriage of Basil, which is why you believe Roger was born in Coventry?

Marriages Jun 1941
Howells Basil G Gardiner Coventry 6d 2320

theres only Triston birth showing mmn Allard ,note the spelling too of his name

on the marriage record Roger is shown as Roger J which may help

But there does not appear to be a matching birth for him.

Oh I have no idea how to use this site lol.
I have found Roger married Linda Allard in 1967 and Joyce Woodbridge in 1982. Joyce has died. His father is Basil George Howelles born 1903 and passed 1979. It looks like he married a Gardiner in 1941.
Rogers middle name was James. Triston was born 1969 he has a sister but I can not find her I think her name was Kerry and she was younger. My mum tells me Linda Kerry and Triston moved to Zambia.
Im not sure where Roger was born I assume it was Coventry as he met his three woman there and had the children but it has been said he moved to peterborough.
I feel at such a dead end :-(

There's some confusion on the records on Linda's second initial. it looks like c but there's no corresponding birth . But ancestry had transcribed it as D and there is a birth as Linda d plus a second marriage as Linda d in 1977
presume there was a divorce as both remarried

Travel though online only to to 1960 so not possible to follow that line up

Wonder whether Roger was the informant on his mums death cert

That would get you a newer address for him if he was the informant

If you have been told that Joyce has passed away does the person know when or where ?

Hi Thank you for all your'e help with me. I dont understand all these figures 6d 2320 how are you finding this stuff out?
Yeah im guessing he divorced Linda as he married Joyce, she only passed away a few years a go and that was in coventry, So did his mum die in 1992?
i really do appreciate you helping me x

Yes his mum died in 1992 and the index to her death is the GRO ref that you will need to order a copy of her death cert

get it from www.gro.gov.uk costs £9.25 with the ref quoted

You have to register on the site and follow the order form Tick the box that asks if the GRO ref is known and then fill in the ref in the boxes ie year .qrtr .vol nos ,page nos etc

Only post the details as its shown on the record dont add any other info to it.

online BMDS only go to 2006 so if Joyce died after that it wont be online BUT you could ring the local Records office and enquire they may do a look up for you

Edit..........

It doesn't look as if the wife Annie who appears on the 1891 census, is the same Annie who appears on the 1901 and 1911.

The Annie who appears on the 1891.......is age 43 born Welshpool.

The Annie who appears on the 1901 (Age 24) and the 1911 (Age 35) was born in Shifnal, Shropshire.

The 1911 states that Thomas and Annie have been married for 15 years.

Also, note that there is a Niece with the surname of Ellis.
