I am just so grateful for your help, even if all suggestions are red herrings.
One person on ancestry has Bernice in their tree, so I hope that they will respond to a message, even though there is very little in the tree.
Facebook has been very useful to me in the past for living relatives, so I can feel a little 'session' coming up!
If I can help you with anything in sussex uk, do say.
Thanks again,
Annabel.
