We are trying to find descendants of Ronald Murphy MBE, who was a registrar in Nottingham and later secretary to the Lord Mayor.
We know he married Elfrida Platts and had a daughter named Paula R V Murphy and that she married Ian A Westray in Nottingham in 1964.
We would like to share family history information with any living relatives.
Many thanks,
John and Marigold Cope.

Try looking on search trees to see if anyone has them in their tree

Presumably this is her death:

Elfrida Mary Murphy
Birth: 31 Aug 1912
Death: Feb 1995 - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England

Do you know who the informant was?

Added:
Presumably this is her birth - she does not appear in any trees on here, not yours, so others not able to contact you:
Births Dec 1912
Platts Elfreda M Edwards Bingham 7b 995

There is only one birth for Ian A Westray, but there are two marriages after the 1964 one you mention, so perhaps Paula no longer has that surname

Can't see any births which could be for children of Paula and Ian

Have you tried www.192.com?

Or the phone book?

Get a copy of the mother's death cert............for the informant's details

EDIT

The father's would be of more use........it's more recent

Thank you all very much for your helpful information and suggestions.
