I am try to find any relatives of my great aunt Rachel Mills her date of birth 29/11/14 in cumbria her parents were william Lawrence and Mary winthrop.
Rachel was brought up by her aunt after her mother died and was known as Betty in the family. I think she had two children jean and Gordon, i would be very interested to hear from any family member.

Sorry, was her surname Mills or Lawrence, or Winthrop?
Thanks

Added:
OK
Births Mar 1915
Lawrence Rachel Winthorp Bootle 10b 1420

Is the marriage 1948 in Bolton?

The son would be Gordon J Mills, but I cannot see any marriage for him in Lancashire

Have you got her death certificate?

There is no death showing for a Rachel Mills with that birth date.

So you have a choice.

She is still alive.
She died after 2005.
She died before 1969, so birth year only is used.
She married again, (though no exact match for Rachel, either)
Informant gave her the wrong birth date.

Have you any further information?
Thanks.

P.S. If you want people to help, un-tick the 'answered'.

When she married her surname is listed as Lawrence or Dearden.
