Sandra Report 23 Feb 2014 14:39

Patricia (born 13.01.1938 Paddington) and Ronald (born Dec 1932 Paddington) are the children of Florence Amelia Gertrude Wensley (born 1900 and died 27.10.1969). Florence was my Grandmother (Barbara Alice Coomber) half sister. Florence is the legel owner of the grave, my late father is buried in. George Ernest Coomber died in 1958. I need to trace Florence's descendants in order to take over the grave at Willesden new Cemetary as the local authority will not allow my sister and I to do the necessary maintenance as we are not the legal owners. If anyone know's of Patricia or Ronald please contact me.

Have you searched on Freebmd to see if you can find marriages for Patricia and Ronald?

You could also use "Search All Members Trees" to see if any other members have them in their trees.
