Celia

Have you looked in search trees?

Only someone actively using the boards will see your post, unless they happen to google the lady's name

Have you done any research into whether or not she had children?

Don't amend your original post any further...if you have comments, add them using the box below the responses, which has the title 'add your reply'

If you hope for help, you must be a little more forthcoming

Giving her year of birth, and her husband's forename would not be an invasion of privacy, and would help people to help you

You haven't even said when she was in Preston..........

Celia,

Very, very few people actually read these boards (24 have read your thread when I started posting this) so the chance of any of her children or grandchildren reading this is very remote.

Possibly some time in the future a descendant might come across her name in your tree (?) or this thread, but Betty might no longer be with us.

So if you want to make actual contact with her, not her children, you need to seek her, not just sit and wait.

This is why we wanted further details - to try and help you in your search.

Also, for anyone new to this thread, the opening post has been amended by Celia to explain her position, and so some of the responses may not make complete sense.

An Elizabeth McFadyen is listed on the current ER in Leyland, Lancs. She has been registered there since at least 2002
http://www.192.com/all/search/ or the ER on this site.

You can get a partial address for free on

Cross referencing with 192.com, it would appear that the first result listed is the most recent.

There is a marriage on Scotslandspeople in 1956, in Greenock, of an Elizabeth Cummings to a Mr McFadyen.

Possible births in 1940 and 1935, amongst others.

Trying to re-connect with my aunty Betty (nee Cummings) originally from Greenock, Scotland last known address Preston, Lancs

Hi everyone, thanks for all the input. I know when my aunt was born, I know who she married , where & when etc. As I am trying to trace a living relative I deliberately did not add too much detail to protect their privacy. If any of her children or perhaps grandchildren use this site they will recognise her from the small amount of info I posted. Thank you all
