Hi Migky

I would suggest next step to look through the birth indexes (view the images at http://www.ancestry.co.uk) and note all BASSETT births from 1914 onwards that have mother's maiden name of McILVENNA (or something that looks very similar - there might be some mistranscriptions in the spelling of something like that) - these are likely to be children of the couple :)

You can also do the same looking for likely deaths of Charles Thomas and Florrie (bear in mind Flora and Florence too) but there might be quite a few with a name like BASSETT :-\

Hope this helps to get you started

I've found Genes Reunited really helpful in going forwards-and that has also helped to fill gaps and anomalies in my tree
