As this is on 'living relatives' can you give an idea of what you're looking for?

As your father appears to have been an only child - you'll have to research his cousins' lines if you're looking for living relatives

What research have you done?

Have you used GR's 'search trees' facility? It's where you may find links on the site.

Hi
I have recently started researching my dad's family , his father Idris Hopkins was born 1891 in Cliff St Mountain Ash (which we recently visited) his parents were Rees Hopkins & Mary Jane Hopkins.
Idris went on to marry Evelyn Brooker from Dorking in Surrey.
They married in October 1924 and Evelyn died in Sept 1949.
Any help would be appreciated ! :-)
Thanks Mike Hopkins
