COMPLETED Stephens- SA births lookup

[parsec]

Hi, I am new to this forum, so please let me know if I have asked inappropriately. I am after a lookup of the SA indexes for the siblings of Margaret Millicent Stephens (born 22 May 1920). I believe there are over 10 siblings to parents Henry James Stephens and Olive Agnes Fitzgerald. I am hoping that they are only on a few pages.

The main reason for the lookup is that I have a sentimental item belonging to a partner of one of the siblings, but I am not sure which one. I hope to work my way back down and find a living relative to give it to.

thanks

Thanks very much Chris. Any chance you can double check the death date for Millicent Irene. I am hoping that one of the women had a husband Louis/ Lewis William (Bill) Shepard born sep 1894 son of Anna Shepard.

thanks again for your help

Wow, thanks to both of you. Cando that has taken me to where I can find the person to give the items to. Absolutely fantastic. I remember Alice and Lewis, but didn't have them linked in my head. It makes sense now.

I am looking forward to the face to face meeting

thanks again
