Descendants of Frank and Bernice Start

Julie Report 18 Nov 2021 10:37

Greetings,
My name is Julie Hopper and I would like to contact any family members of Frank Start and his wife Bernice nee Flett, both deceased. Frank was brother to my mother Isabel Hopper nee Start. Isabel died aged 84 in 1999. I do not know when Bernice died, but Frank died when he was quite young, I think in his 30s, of a heart problem. I am not sure when he died, but I think it was about 1938. He and Bernice had two daughters, Norma and Coral, and a son Jack. There may have been another son Lance, or he may have been a nephew. I have had contact but not for many years with both Coral and Norma. I have also seen the name Julie Danks on Facebook, and I believe Julie may be a grand daughter of Frank and Bernice. Would love to contact anyone who is interested in sharing these family links.
