I have checked all variations of Jeanette She was born in 1946/47.. as she was in my class at school.There are only 2 possibilities one in Hemel Hemstead and one in London but neither mothers maiden names come up with any family.I'm beginning to think they might have come from Ireland.No marriage for that name either.
I knew her sister but can't recall her name.
I think the electoral register is the next step to identify her parents.
Thanks for comments...Lex

Do you mean the birth in Bristol in 1942 - or would that make her too old?
(There are lots of possible siblings for that birth)

Do you know her address in the 50's? Although she won't be on there as too young, I would recommend searching the electoral register to find out the names of her parents.

Are you related?

Have you tried Friends Reunited?

Are you 100% certain of the spelling of her forename?

There are many variations which are pronounced the same

Jeannette cook born circa 1947 who came from a seemingly large family (as I recall) living in the St Pauls area of Bristol in the 1950's Yet I can find only one viable Jeannette and using the mothers maiden name no brothers or sisters! yet I knew them at the time.
