Knowing what I know it wouldn't surprise me.

Have contacted all the tree owners I can identify and unfortunately I know more than they do.

Regards

If you cannot find the marriages, then they could have married 2 or 3 times to make the trail difficult to follow, or they could have been adopted.

You might need to get the death certificates to see who the informant was, to help you

In addition, have you contacted anyone who has any of the family in their trees on here?

Hi

Trying to trace 3 missing sisters, children of Thomas Ward & Eleanor Rodham. There were 3 younger brothers born 1933 to 1937 there whereabouts are known. The brothers and sisters appear to have lost touch / were separated in the late 1930s when the parents divorced/split/Thomas died (it is not clear). It is known that Eleanor head south to London and had a further child.

The only help I am seeking is can anyone find a death for Thomas who we believe was born 1900 in Guisborough or anything about the 3 sisters.
