Finding cousins

Hi,
I am currently helping someone in their mission to find any relatives.
Basically his mother took the children away from the family area and cut off all connections. The person is now 68 and wants to find and maybe make contact with any cousins as the aunts and uncle may have passed away. I have found a couple of possible births on freebmd but there are possible births after 1953 when freebmd has no records online.

I am looking for births from the marriage between Woodcock and Humphrey (mmn). Marriage was 1948 in peterborough. I have found 2 possible births but not sure

The 2nd is Horrocks and Humphrey(mmn) with marraige 1934 also in Peterborough. I have 2 possible births

At present I only have a standard membership.

I have found an aunt who they had contact with this week but she said the family split up many years ago so she knows very little.

If possible it would be great if someone could check on 192.com for any contact details

Thank you very much in advance.

Chez

192 is far too expensive for anyone to use their credits for another person's research.

Your contact needs to start with his birth cert.......for facts about his parents.

Then a search can be made based on those details............

Thank you.
I was not sure about 192.com, it was just a long shot. I didn't realise you had to use credits, I was hoping someone had a subscription if there was one .

We have the names of the parents and I have found marriage for all of the Humphreys. I am now searching for children born to the women in the family.

I have looked in out local phone book but nothing there.

Thanks
Chez
