Find Living Relatives

Looking for relatives from my Grandfather Charles James Cole born 1909 Parents William Henry Cole And Mary Smith Siblings William, Frederick Alfred Albert Violet Lavinia and a few others i think. Family originated fro Northlew in Devon.
Many Thanks. <3

Have you looked to see if any of these people are in family trees on here?

Have you tried to identify their dates of birth from the censuses and free bmd? (Mary Smith is a very common name without some more information.)

Are the Coles from Plymouth and the Smiths from Northlew?

Is this the family in 1911?

There are several marriages for a William H Cole in the right area - any one of them or all could be his!

It might be best to wait for Vincent's return before trying to trace forward the other siblings as

a) Do we have the right family?
b) We don't know what research Vincent has done himself
