I am searching for any children of the above who may have been born or lived in Reading Berkshire. Godfrey passed away in 1955 so I guess any children would now be between 70-80 years old

Look for his marriage - if there was one - then look for the names of children

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Look for his name etc in search all trees, to find out if anyone on GR is researching him

Where was he born?
