Find Living Relatives

These brothers married and went to Australia and lived near Sydney during the war. We believe they had children, but have not found any yet. We believe that a photo found in some old albums have the names" Ethel and Tom taken in 1938 in the UK on Holiday from Australia" are Stanleys children. The towners are from Tun Wells area of Kent. Any help tracking down living relatives to share genealogy would be great.
Thanks in anticipation

Is 1938 correct?

Cannot see them going back to either NZ or Australia on FMP maybe ancestry will have some record?

The Australian Electrol rolls are free on ancestry up until the 15th and in 1958 living with Stanley and Madeline was an Elizabeth Alma which looks like a daughter

If you try the search trees as suggested by Lynski there looks like a couple of people may have Frederick and Stanley in their trees

just to add ...though not exactly helpful news....

Clarence Stanley & Lillian Alice Towner had another son Frank A Towner born & died 1914 NSW. (only other (Towner) birth recorded to 1918)
