I'm trying to trace relatives of my grt aunt Esther born lower Ince, Wigan. She married Thomas Grimes (1927 St. Mary, Ince, Wigan) and she died 1980 in Torbay. I would love to hear from anyone related to my aunt. :-)

There is someone called Barry who has this person in his tree.

If you use the "search" option at the top right of the screen and click on "search all member trees", put in Esther's name and birth year you will find him and you can send him a direct message. He also has Thomas Grimes in his tree.

There doesn't seem to be any children born to a Grimes/Parry couple as shown on the GRO index.

Presumably this is Thomas' death?

As Esther died after Thomas, the informant on her DC may be a relative.
