Find Living Relatives

Hello
I recently discovered that my Father, Edward verdun Hodges DOB 14.07.17 had three older sibs who thought had died in childhood or in WWII but this is untrue

His sister Georgina Ellen Hodges 13.01.13 married a charles H Fletcher they had tow children Dorothy (1933) and John H (1934. They all lived at Cedar Walk in Worcester in 1939. Georgina later married Johannes Suessmith (a rare name indeed)

His sister born georgina Ellen Hodges married Charles H Fletcher and had two children Dorothy Fletcher (1933) and John H (1934 died 2005).

She later married Johannes Suessmith in 1948 who was in a nursing home in Worcseter some years ago and must have died. Maybe they had children?

I'm looking for any relatives on this side of the family.

His brother Frederick Francis John 05.02.06 died in 1981. He had a daughter called Doris may Mackie. He was boxer and briefly professional.

an older brother John Francis 06.03.04 i know nothing about
any information about my lost cousins would be very well received

This is really helpful and extremely quick but i'm pretty sure that my uncle John Francis Hodges was born on 06.03.04 in Bromsgrove so alive in 1911 and not the one
who died in Surrey
