Find Living Relatives

Thank you Patchem - good thinking. One can always recognise the experts!

Yes, I thought Thompson was not the easiest of surnames.

With thanks,
Pauline

How do you know that the marriage that Jan found is of 'your' Joan - I think it is only a guess?
If you get her birth certificate (for exact date of birth and parents names) and proposed marriage certificate you can then check to see if it is the correct marriage with same Father on both.
With exact date of birth we can look for deaths on ancestry up to 2005 without knowing the surname.
Unfortunately Thompson is a fairly common surname.

Is there now a way to find if Joan THOMPSON (Nee Hinchley) is still alive and where she is please anyone?

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Pauline

Hi Brummiejan,

I don't use this very often and tend to forget how it works - but will look into how to mark 'my thread answered'. Thank you for pointing it out.

Thank you also for the information. Good to know she is still alive at 86.

I am very grateful for all help.

Regards,
Pauline

Bit of a long shot:

Marriages Jun 1951
HINCHLEY Joan THOMPSON Heywood 10c 618
THOMPSON Thomas W HINCKLEY Heywood 10c 618

Did you intend marking your thread a 'answered' Pauline?

Anyway, I assume this is Joan:

Births Jun 1925 (>99%)
Hinchley Joan Brookes Manchester N. 8d 88

Hi Patchem,

I am afraid I don't know her mother's name. I know this is a long shot.

Thanks,
Pauline

Hi Flick,

There is nothing in 'Search Trees'. I don't know if she was married.
Thanks for reply.

I was trying to find her Mother's name to find out date of death, but cannot see a marriage, so possibly her Mother had been married before, or slight error in transcription. I cannot see any brothers or sisters for Joan.
Do you know her Mother's name?
Thanks

Start by looking in search trees

Have you tried to find out whether she married?
