Welcome to the boards Sue.

Is Elliott or Cummings her present name? How old would she be and have you any idea which area of the country she might be?

You need to give all the information you have about her so that someone can try to help you.

Elizabeth F Cummins appears to have married a Carol Y(V?) Elliot in 1964, Camberwell.

Sue has many Cummins in her tree on here, not all with dates or places of birth.

Thought her grandparents might be Cummins/R?ck.

Are you in contact with any other possible siblings?

Births Mar 1932
Cummins Margaret M Reck Willesden
Births Dec 1932
Cummins Kathleen A Reck Uxbridge
Births Sep 1935
CUMMINS Mary J Reck Paddington
Births Sep 1936
Cummins Elizabeth F Reck Kensington
Births Mar 1942
Cummins Thomas J Reck Kensington Died 1942
Births Mar 1945
Cummins Thomas J Rock Kensington

You have put that Elizabeth's maiden name is Elliott, you mean married name.

Do you know the name of the man that she married - was it really Carol?

Similarly, do you know the names of any of your cousins?

WHEN was she last in contact with your family?

Have you tried using freebmd to find out if the marriage to Elliot produced any children?

Are you saying that you know for certain that all of Elizabeth's siblings are deceased?

And that all of the children they may have produced are also deceased?

Did she attend any of their funerals?

If you want to know about the parents, get a copy of one of the birth certs, so you will have their first names

They didn't - apparently - marry in England or Wales, so that line is of research is not an option which can be suggested

Elizabeth isn't old - only 72, if living.

patchem Report 17 Nov 2014 18:19

She would be 78, but I agree, not old.

so sorry for sounding stupid but what is the gro listing . :-)

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 7 Dec 2014 19:42

It's the actual page of GRO records that have been transcribed to the listings on Ancestry etc

When Carl ,s name was transcribed it was wrongly done and the error was missed .
