Patricia Report 29 Dec 2011 10:49

Can anyone help? I am trying to find the family of Percy Rosmond Clifford b.1868 and Minnie Masters b.1863. Percy and Minnie married in 1892 at Huddersfield Yorks. As far as I can find they only had one son Philip Reginald Clifford b.1868 at Huddersfield Yorks. I have found that Philip married a Emily M Gilbertson in 1923 and they had one know child, Geoffrey P Clifford b. 1928. What became of the family after the birth of Geoffrey I do not know and would appreciate any information anyone can help me with. I haven't found any death records for Philip Clifford or Geoffrey Clifford and wonder if they immigrated somewhere. Thankyou for any help. Pat :-S

Thankyou very much Flick for all this information.

Can you advise me how to go about finding out if Geoffrey P Clifford and Daphne M Woolfstein who where married 1954 in Hertfordshire had any children?

Thankyou for all your help

Pat

You could try freebmd.........but there's no guarantee that Woolfstein was Daphne's maiden name.......

EDIT:

It was her maiden name....her birth is on freebmd

She may be alive..........

As she was only in her 30's when Geoffrey died, I'd think it likely that she re-married

Hi Flick,

Thankyou for your reply. I tried freebdm but not luck there. My other guess is to do some old fashioned trawling through records. May even find a re-marriage for Daphne this way. That is unless you have a better suggestion.

Thankyou again

Pat :-)

I have found a possible 2nd marriage for a Daphne Clifford to aThomas H Borlase in Sep 1970 at Hove Susssex.

Still haven't found any children for her marriage to Geofreey Clifford

See if you can contact local newspaper offices for obituary of Geoffrey?

Unfortunately I do not have a subscription and I live in Australia.
