Well Vanessa ... some idea of where that church ... and your aunt and cousins ... might be would be a good start. We are assuming England? any particular part?

Jean's surname before she married ... maybe your grandparents' names so we can be sure we are finding the right Jean eventually (by matching your grandparents' surnames to her birth record) ...

to find people, one has to know as much as possible about them to start (without violating their privacy - no family skeletons! :-) and no exact birthdates and the like)

have a look at your post through a stranger's eyes and you'll see the kind of questions someone might have

you're not a total newbie to the boards so you must have an idea of how searching for somebody goes!

To give you an idea, one website shows 36 Jean Buttons on the electoral roll, many over 60 ... now many of them will be duplicates, but that still leaves some to choose from

none is living with a Percy Button ... and you would be amazed at how many Percy Button death records there are! so knowing just his name doesn't help unfortunately

for possible marriages, might her surname start with an N or an A?

so an idea of where to look will be a good start, and especially Jean's birth name.
