My cousin's name is Elizabeth Jane Smith. She will be approx. 80 years old now. Her husband is Harry Smith. He is quite a bit older than her, in his 90's so may well have passed by now. They both lived and worked in Newbury Berks until at some stage moved to either Cornwall or Devon. This is when I lost contact. I know this is a big area but the 'help' I got from other members of the family where split 50/50 Devon or Cornwall. Harry was a G.P.O. Technician and Elizabeth, an Invoice clerk in Newbury. Elizabeth was always known as Bunty growing up. Sid.

What was her maiden name?

Have you looked for her birth registration?

An approximate age is not enough if we are to look for a possible death, with such a common surname.

You don't mention children - do you know if there were any in the marriage?

WHEN did you last have contact?

Have you searched the Electoral Roll on here?

Unless Elizabeth is a paid-up GR member, she won't see your message
