Looking for my mother's cousins, Jack and Eric Kenyon, or their descendants. No contact since the 1950s when my mother and her family emigrated to Australia. Last known residence was the Chadderton / Manchester area.

Welcome to the boards

Find their births on freebmd. They may have middle initials. Then see if the same site gives their possible marriages.

Use the search all members tree on this site to see if any one has them listed, then send a message to the tree owner.

Have you any idea of when they were born? Where they were born is also important.

have you been able to do anything about looking for info yourself?

Was Jack the registered name?

This may possibly be the death of the boys' father

The age would be about right, and the location matches Clara's second marriage

Thank you for all the messages.
Jack Kenyon was born Feb 1933 Salford. Eric was born 1936 Oldham. Their parents were Fred and Clara (known as May). The last known address for Fred and May was Chadderton 1957. Do not know anything about deaths or re-marriages. The baptism and 1911 census you attached are correct. His brother William is my grandfather (b.1902).

Eric was actually born in 1935.......see LancsBMD....and the entry in his tree on GR

Are you likely to try to contact him?

I realised you didn't know about deaths etc.....that's why I posted the info for you

I didn't post any baptism info.
