Hi, I'm trying to trace family members of my paternal grandmother, she used to live in Stockton on Tees, may well still be there.
Her name was Margaret WHELAN & she married Roy Charles RATCLIFFE in Colchester, Essex in 1952. She since remarried. My father was Patrick Roy RATCLIFFE & he found her through the red cross many years ago but sadly lost contact. Patrick passed in 1985.
One of her children, a daughter, is called Patricia.
Not a great deal of information but it may mean something to someone. Any info would be of great interest to me.
Thanks
