Find Living Relatives

These are long lost cousins on my mother's side. Norman was in the Merchant Navy I believe but I don't recall anything else as for some reason unknown to me my mother and her sister Eva stopped contacting each other. Therefore, I also lost contact with these cousins some 55 to 60 years ago as best I remember. They probably lived in Sheffield as their mother (my grandmother) lived in Sheffield on Leppings Lane, Hillsborough. My mother and all her siblings are now deceased and my cousins from other aunt and uncles have also lost touch so I have nobody to obtain further information from. If it helps, my mother's other siblings were Walter, Frank, Connie and mother was Joyce, who moved to live in Rotherham then, after my father's death, Ripon where she lived until her death.
If anyone can help with this search for long lost cousins I would be very grateful

Birth years are vital................

What relationship is there between Norman and Edith?

If they were siblings......who were their parents?

You need to clarify, please..............

have you looked in search trees, provided by GR for finding connections on the site?

Your parents, I presume........for some idea of time-scale

If Norman and Edith are your cousins, your grandmother can't possibly have been their mother..........

Is THIS your mother's birth?

It's a good job I'm stuck in the house waiting for a delivery.............

Can't see births for Norman and/or Edith matching the marriage above, so I'm calling time on this until Paul provides some answers.

Who were their parents ?

Can't see a birth for a Norman who could have been in the Navy in WW 2. So when was he born please

Would this be his parents

If so there is a Norman born. 1933

And a daughter Beryl born 1934

Shirley

The original post suggests ( as I read it) that the mother was Joyce Gregory's sister EVA, who is on the 1911 census above

And there is no mention of Norman serving during WW2. Paul says only that he believes he was in the Merchant Navy.

I popped back hoping there had been input from Paul...........! No such luck.

I know I said I'd be leaving this.........but...still waiting for the delivery!

If that's Eva's hubby, get a copy of the cert for informant's details

I have answered most of the above by clicking on your names and providing my answer/comment so I hope they have been received.
Thank you for the time, advice and information you have provided. If you have NOT received my answers please let me know.

Paul it is really much better to answer on the thread ( assuming that there are no privacy issues re living people etc) that way you get more people helping who may just find some info that others can't ( because they have access to other sites for instance). Also not all helpers want to deal with individual messages as they may only have limited time to spend helping. :-)

I have had NINE PM's from Paul...unfortunately, none of them contained any useful info whatsoever

Paul

respond ON HERE, and give some facts, please.

Also, your 'marking as answered' denotes that your query is FULLY resolved, which clearly it isn't
