Find Living Relatives

A word of advice.

Never close an account. Instead allow it to lapse by making sure you have the auto-renew function set to Off. That way, as long as your linked email address remains current or is updated, people can still contact you off-board.

When you have the time, money or inclination, you can always re-subscribe with the original account & easily find any threads you may have posted on.

Very occasionally someone does google a name they are interested in and finds a thread. In the meantime, the orginal poster has deleted their account meaning there is no way to contact them.

You have a message from me containing a lot of info, sent on 29 Sept - but my total apologies, you did reply in the other thread that you 'have tried contacting those sent privately'.

Did nothing come of that then? or did you not notice the contact info for the person who seems to be the daughter? of Barbara Lynne, who may or may not be the same person ...

I didn't see a message about Barbara's daughter. I message a Barbara Lynne through my inbox as I seen she had mutual people in her tree as the other Barbara.

I didn't hear any more from the other thread I was using so I closed my account for a while.
I'm sorry if you think I ignored you. Don't remember seeing this message.. I'll take a look at the link. Thanks. And sorry again x

in September I sent you contact info for what I believed to be Barbara's daughter

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1354715?page=4

after tracing what appeared to be Barbara's birth and family (and this is where you got the Barbara Lynne name in the first place)

you didn't reply

did it not work out?

there is old ground being gone over here, for instance the Waters + Gething/Eddy marriage

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1354715?page=2

that thread was 8 pages long so if anyone wants to try to figure it out / remember it first, it might be wise before going to far afield here

there are 2 barbara lynne's born in 1966 one in bury and one in stockport

Its on Findmypast, and probably
http://www.searchelectoralroll.co.uk/Electoral_Roll_Search.asp

The current years of occupany were checked using the surname and post code on 192.com. (Free search only)

Then...using the address, look on Zoopla for sold prices. Properties show up if they were sold by an Estate agents. It doesn't help if they were rentals

Bearing in mind there is a male at the same address, he could either have been a son or spouse. He is only listed in 2002

Where have you found that?

Thanks so much for your help.

Pming a N London ER entry to 2015. Not entirely sure if its the right person. The house, if owner-occupied, hasn't been sold for years and years.

Done. I messaged the one Barbara who shows as Barbara Waters - regarding Selwyn - Vernons brother.

The other Barbara that shows as Barbara Lynne Waters - I contacted her because she had Barbara Waters in her tree born in 1966 like the one above.

I messaged because I thought she may have two accounts.

Go into your contact list and select both Barbara's. You ought to be able to read the messages you sent to them

When I have contacted her and looked back, it says Barbara Waters.. But there's also a Barbara Lynne that I contacted but I'm not too sure that's the same person.

Thank you for those marriages.
I feel like I can't quite hold on to anything. It's quite frustrating.

Now you've sent a message, is she listed in your Contacts as a Waters or some other surname? There is, or used to be a problem with GR that although a married womans public profile was in her maiden name, if she's added a spouse, messages were also recorded with his surname.

Looking at various marriages for Vernon - if he didn't record his middle name, there are a couple you migh want to consider

Marriages Sep 1945 (>99%)
Waters Vernon to Queenie G Palmer Haverfordwest 11a 3340

Marriages Sep 1948 (>99%)
Waters Vernon to Martha Gething Willesden 5f 865
Waters Vernon to Martha Eddy Willesden 5f 865

As there are number of Waters/Eddy births, Eddy was probably her maiden name.
Unfortunately, there isn't a Barbara born to this couple!

do you think that could be her married name? That she married in to the waters line and that her husband is the relation?

The same tree owner list a Barbara Waters being born in 1966, Kingston.
Birth reg on Findmypast doesn't list anyone with that name, in that year, in that general area. That's even taking into consideration a late registration in 1967.

It could be that she has 'disguised' herself.

I didn't think of the generations thing! Maybe he was her grandfather. She may be my fathers cousin.

Yes - that's the Vernon Waters.

If she is Vernons granddaughter - she would roughly be the same age as my father - in her 50s. I'm 27 - so maybe she has children my age? I don't know.

Is the entry which Barbara has for Vernon?

I'm not seeing a marriage in England or Wales for Vernon.

Am I reading this right?

You think that Vernon was Barbara's father but his brother Selwyn was your gt. grandfather? That means that there are 2 generations between you and Barbara.

Ok / so I've done a bit of research.
To begin..
we have three siblings matching on our tree

Selwyn waters (my great grandfather)
Gladys Waters
Vernon L Waters

I think that Vernon was her father - the only other brother is Thomas but she doesn't have him on her tree. And I'm guessing she would have her father.

Vernon L Waters was born in Neath - but he died in London. Can someone help? I'm thinking if I trace back to him - some how I could get hold of her that way?
