To find living relatives you need to go to SEARCH at top right hand of the page and on the drop down menu select Search All Member Trees.
You will then need to put the names you have into the search and you can then hopefully contact the people with those names in their trees.

New thread started by Jennifer on the same family:

Stick to one thread, Jennifer.
There's no point in people searching all over again, when they've already helped you with a lot of info.

Using http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/
there's only 2 Matthews-Barker births showing up 1905-1911, but mum's maideen surname has not yet been given for all subdistricts.
