Find Ancestors

Hello there, I'm trying to trace the descendents of Ada Rose Dearing (my nan), born on the 19th November 1908 in Leavesden, Watford, Hertfordshire. My nan has unfortunately passed away earlier this year. However, I have successfully contacted a second cousin of my nan's older sister Elizabeth Dearing. I have fortunately been given a detailed family tree of the Dearing family so far. But I would like to find out more about her younger sisters Nellie (Nell) and Mary Dearing, as I know that my nan was close to these sisters for sometime and then subsequently lost contact with them. This might of been due to some family rift, but I am not interested in this. I am told that Nellie married a Mr Dowler, and was last to be known living at 40 Avondale, Wealdstone and Mary married a Mr Puddifoot and was last to be known living at 33 Chestnut Walk, Harebreaks, Watford. I would be very interested in hearing from anybody that has information about these family members or is possibly related to them. My nan's parents were Thomas Dearing (5th April 1871 in Leavesden, Watford, Hertfordshire) and Elizabeth Adams (born in c1870 in Ley Hill, Buckinghamshire), we believed they had 4 sons Thomas, Benjamin, William and Joseph (Joe) and 4 daughters, Elizabeth, Ada (my nan), Nell (Nellie) and Mary all together. My nan went on to marry Matthew Patrick Shannon before the second world war, and had two children together, my uncle Bernard (aka Bernie) Shannon in 1943 and my mother Margaret Shannon in 1948. My nan spent the rest of her life living in South London with her son (Streatham, Vauxhall areas) and passed away this year on the 19th of January. I would be interested in anyone who has information regarding her family members. Kind Regards Charlene

Hello Charlene,
