Find Living Relatives

Thank you for all your help I am now in touch with my aunt & cousins
:-)

Wendy,

Ralphina Bright is on facebook, note the spelling of her name. She is also showing as Ralphina Wilkinson, to help confirm it is the correct person.

Have you tried to 'friend' her?

Wendy,

You keep sending me private messages. Would you click on Add Reply at the top of here?

You said "I think the marriage you found is a second marriage"? but I haven't posted any marriages.

Rose

Do you know who Mary Taylor was?

Rose

Thanks Rose for your help unfortunately my mum had a very hard childhood and I think over time has tried to block it from her memory, now her memories are sketchy and only recently mentioned the name Ralphena I will look at facebook but know nothing of where any of them went or what happened to her dad and why she went in the home the people she went to live with were Aunt Sur Ann & Uncle Mark in leigh and their daughter Winifred but it must be twenty years since she last saw Winifred .
Thank You for your help

The Anne she refers to is Esther A, born 1928.

You are unsure of Barker's birth year, from your tree 1924 or 1931.

Do you have any further information about him?

Added:
We cross-posted.

Any further sighting of Barker?

Added:
Barker Wilkinson

Date of Registration: Feb 1996
Age at Death: 65
Registration district: Manchester
Inferred County: Lancashire

Barker's MMN has been transcribed as Henker.

Rose

John, with death also registered under Kirkbright:

Deaths Sep 1940
Kirkbright John 0 Burnley 8e 321
Wilkinson John 0 Burnley 8e 321

Looks like there's more to the story, and a Mr Kirkbright was involved.

Rose

What happened to her Father?

As John was born in 1940, she would not have returned to Germany then.

Who was Barker - born in Germany?

Jane died:

Births Sep 1939
Kirkbright Jane A Henke Burnley 8e 196

Deaths Dec 1946
Kirkbright Jane A 7 Surrey Mid.E. 5g 301

Rose

Jane was also registered under the name Kirkbright.

If Eva went back to Germany, perhaps they went with her or were adopted?

Rose

Yes, I stopped looking after 1935, so missed later ones. And free bmd not showing John.

Hi

Rose

Cannot see them afterwards.

There is this marriage in USA, if they left the country, and divorced or he died:
South Dakota, Marriages, 1905-2013
Name: Ralphina White
Age: 37 Birth Year: abt 1935 Marriage Date: 6 Sep 1972
Marriage Place: Pennington, South Dakota, USA

There is a Wilkinson/Henke marriage, but after your Mother's birth.
Eva and George, and 2 more children (Richard and Ralphina), in Burnley.

Is this the family, and her siblings possibly still alive?

Yes, Eva, Richard and Ralphina in your tree.

Do you know who her parents were, and if she had any siblings (she must have if the lady was a first cousin to you)?

She is in another tree on here - do you know the tree owner?
