looking for connections to reta/rita may cohu born in guernsey in 1923 to walter cohu and ada tolcher.
rita died in halifax in 1944 and wonder if she has any family out there who may remember her
-
Just putting her death as showing from the index
Deaths June quarter 1944
Rita M Cohn age 21 in Calder district (Definitely recorded as COHN)
Did she have an older brother Walter Harold Cohu, born 1906? (Channel Isles select births and baptisms on Ancestry stop at 1907)
There is a Walter H Cohu and Ivy M Cohu living in Shipley in 1945 ER.

This thread might be of interest:

Added:
These are 2 possible nieces/nephews, though both have died, and would have no memory of her anyway:
Births June quarter 1942
Eileen M Cohu mmn Barrett Wharfedale
Births June quarter 1944
Michael N Cohu mmn Barrett Wharfedale
Also this one
Births December quarter 1940
Pamela R Cohn mmn Barrett Wharfedale
This is a Michael John NOT Michael N, but probably born 1944 :

That link identifies Walter and Ada, but is unaware that Rita has died, just has a list of anonymous possibly living children apart from Ivy (1914-1919), so may have no further information to help.
Though it is always worth trying to contact tree owners.
