Please delete the birth info..........these people are probably alive

And don't under-estimate people in their 70's.................

All of these are possible however Colchester would be closest main town to possible home at the time

no i havent -- ive never really had any personal success with that site

also i feel due to the person being in their 70,s its not as likely to be usefull.

The person im doing this for doesnt even have a TV - let alone computer !!

There is only ONE birth for the name on freebmd in 1937.............

Using the 1937 birth info produces a record of a brother Michael and a sister Jacqueline

Look at freebmd for full details

I have been trying to locate an important old friend for an elderly relative, on and off for the last few months and have reached a point where i could use some advice or redirection.

Ive been down many false trails and have spent a few hundred pounds in the last few weeks and would like to know if i spend any more money that its in the right place etc .

The probelm with the search has been that the information is coming from a 72 year old who is very unsure of certain details and this has meant to a newbie like me, a slightly confused and troubled learning curve.

As it stands this is the information i believe to be true :

ath area.


This is where i am stuck -- i cant find any further strong links , and this period of time 1970-1990 seems difficult to research.

There was a rumour around this time that she could have moved to the U.S.A. which although not extremely likely - i should follow up but am unsure how to ?

I have used 192 including Extended archieve search and a few other websites - ive tried looking at deaths in both her and her husbands name but have nothing likely in her name -

I have checked possibilities of third marraige but drawn a re.

I have message 3 people on this site who may have trees with possible info - am awaiting responses .

Anyone got any further advice for me ? and thankyou for any of your time in advance .
