Looking for living relations of my great-aunt Frances E Davies born in 1915 and my great-uncle Stanley W Davies born in 1917, both lived in Paddington as children with their sister Zilpah. Stanley may have lived in Shropshire in later life.
My Grandmother lost contact with both in the 1920's, I have been building the family tree for about five years but can't further this side due to lack of information.
Would love to finish my Grandmothers story, as I'm aware both her parents died when the children were young and she never really knew what happened to her brother and sister.

If you had their exact dates of birth... if they died after 1969 you should be able to find their deaths by the date

Have you tried looking on freebmd for possible marriages for this pair?

Have you checked search trees to see if anyone is researching them, apart from yourself?

Flick is right - if you get their birth dates it might be possible to find their deaths. Middle names might help also.

Keep this in mind just in case!

Thanks for your time in my quest to finish my Grandmothers story, have the info for Stanleys birth and death but can't find a marriage and am as yet unable to figure out which Frances E in the marriage records is my Great-Aunt, unfortunately 'Davies' is such a common name. Think I will have to try to get a copy of Stanleys death certificate to see who the informant was, in the hope it will lead me to a wife or children.
Thanks once again for your help :-)
