Thanks brummiejan for your prompt and very useful response.

You have filled in the gaps.

I know this is a long shot -a very long shot - but is there an easy way of finding details of the children of my 10 cousins?

There is extensive detail about various family members, which would take an age to copy!

As there are def. relatives on there, my inclination would be to take out a free 2-week ancestry trial membership and get in touch with them - be sure to cancel in good time though before you end up with a full membership!!

In the meantime, here is an example:

Jane Ann Wood Fergus
Birth 15 Sep 1918 in Musselburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
Death 28 Nov 1999 in Yakima, Yakima, Washington, USA

Spouse
Glenn Delbert Metcalf 1907 – 1992

2 children still living, plus 2 who have died, hence details shown:

Floyd METCALF 1947 – 2004

Pauline Mary (Metcalf) CLEMONS 1948 – 1993
Death 1993 19 Oct Age: 45
Spokane, Spokane, Washington, United States of America

spouse:
John Ernest CLEMONS 1946 – 2010

Brummiejan,

I knew it was a long shot but thanks for your advice. I shall do what you suggest.
