Find Living Relatives

I am searching for my great Aunts or members of their families. Rita I M Wakeling was born in 1923 in Petersfield Hampshire and Sheila D in 1927. Their parents were Irene Madgwick and Charles Stanley Robert Wakeling who married in Petersfield in 1923.

In 1954 on her father's death certificate Rita Wakeling is unmarried. Her father died in Kingsclere in Hampshire.

I have been unable to trace any marriages for either Rita or her sister Sheila. I did apply for a certificate which I thought was for my Rita's marriage in 1956 in Camberwell to a Stanley Mills but it turns out that this was the wrong certificate. I can also find no entries for deaths for either of the sisters under the name of Wakeling. I am not sure where to search next. I have a lovely photograph of Rita and Sheila aged 11 and 7 with their parents and would love to be able to trace either them or their families.

Maybe someone can check this out - unfortunately I only have basic Ancestry:

The following people with the same last name travelled on this voyage: -

Irene WAKELING Page 18 of 24



Irene is born 1902 so is this her mother? it seems like Rita travelled to and from the US but as the passenger records only go up to 1960 its hard to say whether she came back or not

There is no death for a Rita with those middle initals that I can see up until 2005

Irene looks like she did not return as I cannot see a death for her either
