Limited info search Request

[sonstar]

Afternoon

I am having a little stuck moment, my grandma would like to find out if her late husbands first 2 children are still alive or not. I don't want to contact them, just to know.

I have limited information: he was stationed in RAF Lyneham (Wiltshire) when he met my Grandma. So I believe this was where he would have married his ex wife and they had their children.

His wife was called Kay, but no surname available. I believe she has passed away now.

I know their daughters names and would be about 60 years old now.

Can I do anything with this? I cant even find a record of a marriage for Grandad and this Kay.

Grandad is George L Bentley born 1923 Bootle.

Thanks so much anyone for any advice. I dont have access to RAF records, if they were married through the forces would that be recorded differently?

If you know the daughters names, then if you find their births in the birth reg index, it will give mothers maiden name and lead you to the marriage.

But, just having a quick look at marriages for George L Benteys, the only possible one where the bride may be a "Kay' is one where bride is Kathleen .

Cant give full details, as if this isnt yours they may well still be alive.

But, if you know the daughters names you should be able to get it.

I think I have just found that same record on Ancestry. I have found a daughter born the year after that marriage with the maiden name the same as the marraige record. Cannot find the other daughter though :-( Confused!

You will find the birth reg for KW from that 1950 marriage I mentioned above on freebmd in 1921
