Thank you for your replies.

I am aware of, and support, privacy for potential living people. I wasn't sure if my aunt was still alive and thought if she had passed away this may have been found in any searches. This was the reason for the post.

Sadly she never had any children.

Thank you to all that have responded.

Hello all. I am hoping I can receive a big of help please. My access to another family finding group is playing up and causing me a headache. Could anyone be kind enough to find any information about a Patricia Coward.
I believe she was born in the 1930s in London and was evacuated during WW2. She came to live in Wolverhampton and I believe her maiden name may have been Patricia Hillier as she was adopted by the lady she lived with. She married my uncle Raymond George Smith in the late 1950s. In the 80s they moved to Barnstaple but the marriage ended.

Aunty Pat remarried and became Mrs Patricia Coward. I also believe she may have moved to Wales.

I would like to find out if she is still alive if possible.
I will be extremely grateful for any help you give. Thank you in advance.

Scotmum, thank you so much for this. I found Phyllis and Donald yesterday. I didn't know about John.

Kathleen was born in 1910 and her married name was Beck. She had a daughter, also Kathleen Beck, who died aged 6 months. She is mentioned on Sydney's gravestone.

Your information is so helpful. Kind regards Debbie

Hello everyone.

I am hoping someone can help me. I have found out my grandad had a sister we had no idea about. Her name was Beatrice Genevieve Round.  She was born in 1887 to Samuel and Beatrice Round.

Sadly he father, a professor of music,  passed away in 1898 aged 32. The 1901 census shows her living at 16 Norland Square in kensington. Part of the address reads like its an orphanage? Society of musicians.

I would love to know why she was there when she had a mother and 1 sister and 3 brothers. Can anyone suggest where I might get some joy in finding answers

Thank you everyone. I have managed to find one of my cousins, who sadly passed away in 1999, according to the information on one of the sites. My other cousin isn't mentioned.

Hello Ashton,

Thank you for your help.  As suggested I did sign up on the site but it didn't reveal anything for any of the family but I will keep looking.

South Africa / Tracing cousins who emigrated to SA

After putting a post on the South Africa section completely by accident it got me thinking...

In the 1970s my moms cousin Barbara Gutteridge (nee Coleman) emigrated from Wolverhampton to Durban, SA, with her husband David Gutteridge and 2 sons Robert and Ian Gutteridge. Both Barbara and David have passed away but we know nothing of the whereabouts of Ian or Robert. I think they would both be in their mid to late 50s now.

I would dearly love to find them but have no idea on where to start with searching in Durban. Does anyone have any tips on where I could start? Thank you in advance.
