I am trying to find the sonsof the above lady. She was born in 1916 and passed away in 2006 and was the niece of my grandma Edith Emily Mapals. I have been doing my family tree for some years now and this would be another bit done if I could contact them. Their names are Ian J Clarke born 1947 and Richard F Clarke born 1941.

Any information would be useful.

Thanks

Sue

Have you followed up on the possible marriage for Richard in 1964 in Leeds.

Who was the informant of the 2006 death cert - was it one of the sons?

Hi Susan.
Have you any idea where her children might be living or if they married?
I see they were born in Leeds and Dorothy died in Bradford.

Have you managed to do any research?

Have you got a copy of the death cert?

If her husband pre-deceased her, one of the sons would probably have been the informant

I only found out about Dorothy yesterday so I dont have anything as yet. I was hoping I might find her family. I dont have any photos of my granddad and thought maybe her family might have some her mum and dad and I could share my photos of my grandma with them. My grandad died the year I was born. Thank you for the idea to search the free electoral register and for the link. Sue

Look in search trees..........Edith is in at least three, possibly four...........although I can't see her in yours

Putting your tree on here is one of the best ways of making connections

I would have thought it more likely that relatives of Edith's husband would have info about him................not descendants of HER siblings
