Hi I'm trying to find my dads cousin Betty Rose Porter, she will be about 73 now. Betty was born in Brentford in 1935 to Gladys Manley (nee Nye) and Frederick Charles Manley.

Betty married Derek E Porter in Surrey in 1968. I presume Spelthorne as they then went to live in Ashford, Middlesex, on the borders of Spelthorne, Surrey.

In 1970 a boy Nigel James Porter was born to parents of the names Manley/Porter in Spelthorne. I believe this to be Betty's son. I cannot find any other children.

In 1992 Gladys, Betty's mother died, I have Betty still living at the same address she was at in 1968.

I have been to the house to see if they were still there but they moved away, it's a small world, as it turns out my friends sister in laws family were next in the house!!!
I am still waiting for details of when they moved and if they said where.

I have signed up for credits with 192 and have found no Betty R Porter on the E Roll.

I have found a Betty R Porter and Derek E Porter on the 2002-2007 but I can't afford to have the membership. Is there any way to get this info?

Also I have found a death for a Betty Rose Porter in Worthing in 2001. This is not her, I have ordered the cert and the maiden name is Green.

This is so frustrating, I'm not sure what to do next - I've never worried about finding living people before, but they may have clues on my great grandfather (my grandfather left home as a young teenager).

Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Samantha
