Hi There,

I'm looking for my cousin Diana Dale Cameron B 1943 in Lancaster.
She is the daughter of Maude Alma nee Purcell & Robert Forsyth Cameron. Maude's father Thomas Arthur Purcell was my Uncle. She has one sister Alison born in 1945.

Many thanks
C Williams

One possible marriage - but in London area............Spouse surname Wilson. Will PM his forename if you wish

Can't see deaths for the parents - or their marriage

I'm guessing that they were Scottish......perhaps married there? And went back at some stage...............

Maud(e) married again and died as Graves in Middlesex so the London area marriage for Diana could be correct.

Two members other than you have Diana in GR trees - hopefully with the required permission, which you can't have
