I am looking for descendants of my Great Uncle Howard Clark who married Elsie May Hingeley in 1912 ,they lived in Garrison Lane Birmingham. I would love to contact any distant relatives.

First step......look for births

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

If there aren't any.........no descendants

Look on here in 'search all trees'.........someone other than you may have Howard in a GR tree

According to a tree on Ancestry there were 9 children to the marriage, 5 male and 4 female. Eight are now deceased, 1 female marked private.

Edward, if you don't have access to Ancestry then you can search and view public Ancestry trees on their free spin off site Mundia http://www.mundia.com/gb/. You can also message the tree owners.

You have to register but it is free.
