I'm trying to trace a London Family (Greenwich).
Albert Edward Hall was born on May 3rd, 1896 to John Hall and Jessie Imrie. They lived at 3 Dupree Road, Greenwich.
I have a good friend, Virgina (who is French) who wants to trace Albert's sister. Albert was her grandfather.
Eventually, she would like to trace her aunt, (Albert's daughter) who was born around 1944. In 1963, their address was 31 Northern Road, Camberwell, London. Irene was, she thinks, working as a Primary School teacher at the time.
To confuse matters a little, Virgina's father is also called Albert, (the daughter of the first Albert mentioned is her half sister), though he has never met her. He would like to. Albert is now 87 years old, and obviously, time is precious.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Virgina has asked me if we can find out if Maud and Percy had any children:
Bonjour Neil !
Merci de me dire comment je peux faire pour savoir si la soeur de mon grand père Maud a eu des enfants ?
Maud s’est mariée à Percy Johnson à St Mary’s Church de Lambeth, le 14 août, 1915.
Elle avait 26 ans, elle travaillait comme cuisinière, et elle habitait à 77 Lambeth Road,
London.
A Bientôt !
Virgina
If this contravenes the privacy policy regarding living persons, please contact me via private message. As I mentioned previously, Virgina's father is now 87 years old and dearly wishes to trace his half-sister.
Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Virgina has asked me if we can find out if Maud and Percy had any children:
difficult to say with any certainty using FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
Maud & Percy married 1915 in Lambeth if they stayed in that area there are over 20 Johnson birth entries after Dec 1914 with mother’s maiden name of Hall various registrations districts in London
I couldn’t tell you if any are the children's parents are Maud & Percy Johnson you would need to obtain the certificates
Sometimes children are named after family members ie grandparents, sisters, brothers
Details have been posted for Maud's family on the census, so will see if I can find anything out about Percy John Johnson on the censuses to see if he had any siblings
ADDED
Looking at the list of names on FreeBMD not sure that Percy's family will help ???
