Find Living Relatives

Hello, my friend Sue Raven is looking for her mum. Sue was born Aug 1967 thinks at Walsgrave Hospital.. Sue thinks they lived at 35 Mason Road, Foleshill, Coventry. Sues dad’s. name is Paul Leonard Raven.

Please remove Sue's birth date from your post.
This isn't a secure site, and there's the risk of identity theft.

You can leave the month and year, but not the exact date.

Margaret and Paul married in Coventry in 1966.

Looks like Margaret was born in Birmingham in 1947.

She remarried in 1978, in Coventry, to Kenneth W Ward.

They have three sons, born in Coventry, 1977, 1978 and 1982.

You can find details on FreeBMD.

Also a daughter born in Coventry in 1986.

Also 2 more born in 1970 and 1972 under Raven and 2 other surnames.

Rose

I can't see any of them definitively on 192.com.

There are two people together in Nairn in 2018, with surname Ward, and the same first names and middle initials as the 1986 daughter and the 1977 son.
But that seems like a stretch too far!

EDIT:
If that's a married couple, there's no corresponding marriage in Scotland.
But they might be a couple who married in Birmingham in 1967.

Is she in touch with her two brothers born after her

Presume they stayed with dad after the parents separated

What about looking for the parents of Margaret

She seems to have a sister too born 1950

And a brother born 1953

Not seeing the marriage for the Saxon/Callow which are the surnames

Maybe their mum had been married before so you would need their names to follow up on

If deaths etc can be found then going on a different route you may find family who can advise of Margaret’s current whereabouts

Possible older brothers born 1934 and 1939
