pearl Report 14 Oct 2013 22:36

I am trying to trace my auntie jeannie born 1915 who may have been known as jean she had a sister nesta born 1913 and half sister mildred b1889 they were all born in Swansea but i know that nesta moved to andover and married geralld caldwell in 1942 she sadly died in 1948 and he died in 1961 and jean /jeannie possibly london
i have no trace on jean /jeaannie or jeanie at all and have never met her (neither did my mother so if anyone knows what may have happened to any of them i would be very grateful to hear :-)

That's a possibility Mike - but there is a marriage in Sunderland of a male Percival to a female named Jennie, so it could be her instead.

I'll send you the Sunderland marriage by pm Mike as the male in this marriage could still be living.
