Find Living Relatives

Hello, June Hawkins here, was June Mepsted, My aunt, Rose and Uncle Jim King, used to live in parsloes avenue, Daganham Essex, if any of them want to contact me, to keep in touch, I would love to hear from them.

Welcome to genesreunited, June.

What was Rose's maiden name, please, and approximate ages?

Thank-you

There is a death for a Rose King, born 1905 died 1985 in Barking and Dagenham.

Also a Rose Maud King born 1897 died 1991 in Barking and Dagenham - is either one of these your aunt?

Rose Maud possible Rose M Heath married James A King in 1923.

Free bmd gives a June L Mepsted born 1938 in Lambeth, and a June D Mepsted born 1950 in Falmouth.

Are either of these you?

Pm from June explained that Rose's mmn was Brown, and that Rose's parents are June's grandparents, namely Henry John Benjamin Brown and Ellen Julia

Henry John Benjamin Brown, born 1875 is in a family tree on Ancestry.

The tree claims Rose as Rosealine Caroline Brown born in 1903 in London.

Rosealine Caroline shows as 8 in 1911 census, so birth 1902/1903

Added:
Births March quarter 1904
Brown Rosaline Caroline Lambeth 1d 375

so this marriage:
Marriages Sep 1931
Brown Rosaline C King Lambeth 1d 614
King James Brown Lambeth 1d 614

This looks like her death

Rosaline Caroline King
Birth Date: 24 Jan 1904
Date of Registration: Jul 1986
Age at Death: 82
Registration district: Dover
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 16
Page: 1045

On the 1939 census she is showing in Dagenham with a Julia M V Staples/King (1937), but no closed records.

These are possible children in Lambeth
Births Jun 1932
King Cyril J H
Births Sep 1933
KING Margaret E R
Births Dec 1934
King Betty
Births Mar 1937
King Julia M V
Births Jun 1937
King Janet

but June thought there were Margaret, Cyril, Jean and Joan.

Cyril J H King looks to be in Erpingham, Norfolk in 1939. Closed household.

This looks like Julia, sadly,
Julia Maureen Viola Staples
Age: 75
Birth Date: 1937
Death Date: 14 Aug 2012
Residence Place at Death: Folkestone, Kent, England
Postal Code District: Ct18

There is a grant and will for Julia, which could have details of her children, grandchildren, relatives if you want to apply for it.

This also looks like a death, for Cyril:
Cyril James H King
Birth Date: 6 Apr 1932
Date of Registration: Oct 2006
Age at Death: 74
Registration district: Tower Hamlet
Inferred County: London

grant only, for him.

Jean
There are these births:
Births Dec 1936
KING Jean A A Poplar
Births Dec 1941
King Jeannette E Romford

Joan
And this,
Births Jun 1944
King Joan D A Romford

So a choice for Jean of 2 middle names, as the others, or Romford as Joan?

If the Joan is the correct one, there is a marriage to a Leslie F Tricker in 1965 in Barking, and then showing on the ER in Reading in 2014, if someone could look it up?

Pat, my word, haven't you been busy, ? thank you so much, yes, all these details fit in, I was very close to Julia, as during the war, my family lived for a while in Hove Brighton, and Julia and Jean often stayed with us at times, sad to hear that Julia has passed away, the last time that I heard from the family, was in 1975, when my mother passed away, it's been such a long time, I do appreciate all this searching on my behalf, is there someway that I can save all this info ?

Yes, I certainly do think that this is my cousin Jean, as her birthdate was near to my brothers, who's birthday was 01/08/1941, sadly he died in 2005, many thanks.

Will pm you about Jean.

As Margaret was the oldest it will not be a total surprise:

Margaret Edith R King
BIRTH: 23 Jul 1933
DEATH: Feb 1996 - Shepway, Kent, England

Think we have some very good news, via facebook contacts.

Pat, I read you other posting, thank you once again, looking forward to hearing from my cousins, wamr wishes June.
