I am trying to establish a connection, but am having to do it the hard way as the person who holds the key does not reply to any messages – I believe the connection is two step-uncles of hers, 2nd cousins of mine, but I am trying to find out if he they are still alive or not, or if anyone in her family knows what happened to them. I have her and her parents, and the reference for her father’s birth in 1930 shows Simonsen as the fathers name and Simbrick as the mothers name. I have searched back from 1930 to 1918 but cannot find a marriage between these two names at all – I have double checked the birth image and it is crystal clear. Can anyone else see this marriage, or does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks Looby

Perhaps they didn't marry? Or they married somewhere other than England/Wales..........or they married AFTER the child was born......... Reg
