Find Living Relatives

I would like to trace any descendants of my great grandparents WILLIAM FREEME ADDEY (1852 - 1933) & SOPHIA AMELIA (nee BAXTER) ie any descendants of his son LEONARD ADDEY (1886 - 1978) or his daughter EDITH MABEL ADDEY (1884 - 1969), although she died a spinster and I have found no record of her having any children.

In addition, it would help my research if I could trace descendants of WFAs brother ROBERT EDWARD ADDEY (1881 - 1966) who lived in the Brentford area and was a Market Gardener / Florist. He is mentioned in a research project about Brentford but I have no knowledge of his descendants.

Finally, I would be interested to hear from descendants of WFAs uncles JOHN ADDY (yes the spelling is different!) (1826 -1899) and ROBERT ADDY (possibly born 1839)

Many thanks

Have you got any census records for them and also looked fro BMD,s on FreeBMD as a starter
