Find Living Relatives

That would be an idea Mistycat thanks.

Yes will do thanks again Rose.

There’s no record of Reginald’s last residence being sold since his death in 2013.

Maybe a letter to the address would throw some light on Linda if the property is still in the family or at least possibly passed on to the Carvell family, as landlords? who may have some info....

Edit....info taken from Rose’s post...... https://m.thegazette.co.uk/notice/L-60819-2023599

I don't see her on any trees on this site.

You should add Norah and your dad to your tree on here in case a relative comes across the names.

There's a chance she was a informant on Norah's death certificate, but it was probably Reginald.

Not seeing a marriage for Linda in the Redditch area.

Rose

Thank You Rose.
I'm looking to try and contact Linda Robson which is my dads half sister, but unsure if theres a way to do this through Genes...

Trevor,

I have sent you a PM with the name.

Hello All,
My dad Raymond was born in 1944 his mom Norah Mary Maton had him adopted to a family in Rowley Regis. His mom Norah tried to contact him in the late 70's when she lived in Redditch. They did meet but since lost touch. I know now Norah passed away in 1992 but was married twice after he had bee adopted. I know he had a sister as i've seen a photo some time back but no name. I have a name i think to her but need to know if this is correct as it would be nice to contact her if she's still alive.

Looks like Norah was actually born in 1912, not Dec 1913:

Births Mar 1913
Foulkes Norah M Overton Brighton 2b 363

Rose

Was the 2nd child adopted? Her first husband died 14/2/42 so he wasn't the father.

Edit: The second child was adopted.

Rose

there are no ray a maton's born so that must be roy that died

Wondering why the first child isn't with his Mother in 1939, even as a closed record.

Although the transcript shows what is on the original, I think it would be very much a coincidence if this wasn't the same child
