Find Living Relatives

I would like to trace these ladies because they are related to me through their father Joseph Allan Mason born in Birkenhead , Cheshire in 1888, died in London. As far as I know he only had two daughters I do not know any more about the family. Joseph Allan had two brothers and three sisters.Mothers maiden name was Welek.

Peggy may have married in Islington in 1960.

You can look it up yourself (free) on freebmd.org.uk.

I don't want to post it here on a public site, as both she and her husband may still be alive.


Then look her up on searchelectoralroll.co.uk (also free), using her first name, middle initial, and married surname - no need to put in any other details.(But tick the box to accept T&C's)

By cross-reference with 192.com, it appears that she is on the 2011-16 electoral roll at the second (or third - I would guess the third) address given on searchelectoralroll.

That third address is a block of retirement flats.


There's no entry for her at that address in thephonebook.bt.com, but maybe she doesn't have a landline.

Probably Isobel's death:
