Hi Spades,
I'm certain that Marion Gardner is deceased, but as for Norman Brooksbank who was 30yrs old in 1948 and son I do not know. With regards to*, she is alive, a neighbour, and I said that I would see if I could help her get started in researching her family. I thought that someone might recognise the names and know ancestors?
Do we have to be certain that individuals are deceased before we can make a request. If so, I apologise. I erroneously thought the rule was that a living person must not be sought. Sorry, obviously I cannot be certain.
