I am looking for any information on April Cunningham, married name Simons.
She was born April 15th at Stapleford Nottingham 1946 & died December 6th 1974 Saint Mary’s Melton Mowbray. I believe she was 1 of 8 children with sibling names Sam, Michael, Melody, John, Margaret, Ian and David

Welcome to the board Haley, what info are you looking for?

I see she was married 1963, and had middle name Frances.

I assume this is April's birth ? though probably mistranscribed as Apryl

Births of other possible siblings in different areas, so you will need to confirm that they are from same family, for instance Melody 1949 is listed with mmn spelling Davies, whereas Sam is mmn Davis as are some of the other children.

You can see possible births on freebmd.org.uk using the surnames in search.

Francis remarried in 1966 to Doris R Simons? Does that tie in with what you know? First wife died 1964.

Thank you so much for your help, you are right I’ve come across it spelt as Aypril . I would love if any of her family members have any pictures of her. Sadly she died when my dad was 9 and he only has one photo of his mother ??

Haley, if you click on 'Search' at top of page and then'search all trees' for some of the names you might find some connections, I've just had a quick look and there are several tree owners that have Francis Cunningham born 1924 in their tree.

Several have Apryl, spelled with the Y

Sam Cunningham has a tree on here, with Edith Davis 1924 on, as do several others so worth sending a message. It's not guaranteed that you'll get a reply as trees stay on here whether the tree owner is still a paying member or not, but if they have kept the same email they will receive notification of your message and be able to reply. :-)
