Find Living Relatives

I am trying to find information on a Brian! My mum thinks he was her step brother - older than her so born before 1948 in Surrey/London/Middlesex area. We think the mother was a Violet A M Crouch. She married a William G Johnson in 1948 and then Samuel Frederick Wood in 1954. I have been unable to find a Brian Crouch or a Brian Johnson on the BMDs. I have however found a Brian Wood born Westminster 1942 mothers maiden name of Jones. Now Samuel Frederick Wood was married before to Peggy Sylvia Jones so I'm wondering whether it was actually their's but born before Samuel and Peggy married. This would then make Brian not my mum's step brother but her brother. Any thoughts, ideas?

Without purchasing the cert it would be impossible to say who the parents were with those surnames

I thought that would be the case! He may well still be alive but without knowing what his surname was we cannot look for him.

Sarah,

Finding this all a bit confusing. Who were your mother's parents?

Rose

Frederick S WOOD married Peggy S JONES 1947
so unlikely it is the 1942 birth

My mother's parents were Samuel Frederick Wood and Peggy Sylvia Jones. My mum believes Brian's mother is Violet A M Crouch/Johnson. Violet married Samuel Frederick Wood after getting divorced from Peggy Sylvia.

Where has the Crouch come from? she married in the name of Johnson which was her maiden name?

Edit ok I see now she was crouch who married Johnson in 1948 then Wood in 1954

Looking at the births on freebmd Violet would have been 13 when Brian was born

After getting confused myself

There is a birth that would fit but not in London if violets maiden name was Crouch, Brian should have Crouch as his mothers maiden name

Have you not found this birth? although she again would have been very young

Is Violet still living do you know?

Is this the one you are talking about?

Crouch Brian Crouch Trowbridge 5a 235

It's the only Brian with mother's maiden name of Crouch

I do not know whether Violet is still living or not. Samuel Frederick died in 1968 Haven't found a death record for a Violet A M Wood so she is either still alive or died since 2005.

Yes thats the one although there are quite a few others but the fathers name does not match either husband....thats not saying an unknown father may have been named?

Brian could be William G Johnson's son from a previous marriage.

There is a Johnson/Crouch birth in the right area but his name was not Brian in 1949

I will check out that Johnson/Crouch birth - could be that Brian was a nickname?
