Marjorie Callear and son (from UK - 1950s) - where do we start to look?

[SiCallear]

Hi - we have a challenge and are looking for guidance on where/how to start.....

In 1936 [Bilston, UK], Marjorie James married Dennis Roderick Callear. They had a son (birth ecorded 1950 in Wolverhampton, UK). As he may still be alive I cannot provide the first of my namesake.

Dennis Roderick Callear [d.1987] remarried in 1952 and went on to have three more children, one of whom has expressed an interest in finding out what happened to Marjorie and her son.

• There seem to be no relevant UK marriage or death records for a Marjorie Callear
• There seem to be no relevant UK marriage or death records for her son

I recall previously been told that:

• they had emigrated to Australia [this would be post 1950]
• that Marjorie remarried
• that both sadly passed away

Can anyone advise where we should start to look?

Thank you for reading

Either of those 2 people could still be alive, you will need to remove their names from your post and heading

Hi.

Can you please help me to better understand your concern - please.

I am a distant relative (of both), trying to help one of their immediate family members to hopefully make contact with or at least learn more about the individuals named. The names, dates and events are all taken from public UK records.

You are correct that they may be alive (of which we would see that as a positive!) but at this stage we do not what happened to them after 1950 - there is therefore as much possibility that they have sadly passed away, as they be alive.

I am not sure that asking for help to find X Y and son Y Y (b. YYYY in ZZZZZZZ) would be helpful and I have not asked for specific information such as addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, etc.

It is a genuine attempt to extend our growing family tree - not to misuse data and/or Rootschat.

Rootschat does not allow us to mention living people

Thank you for reminding me that i have a vague recollection that a family.member had suggested that both had sadly passed away.

I will leave you to remove their names from your posts and headings then.  I have modified my headings, hopefully someone can still help without reference to their first names.   Presumably the ex husband is no longer with us.

This is just an observation.
There is a long gap between marriage and the birth of the child. Then there is the further marriage soon after that birth. Just wondering if the child was from another relationship and then the possibility of a dfferent surname on emigration.

If Marjorie married in 1936 she will no longer be alive.

I would be inclined to agree that it is most probable that gives her age would be at least 105 (1936-16=1920) this would.support the recollection that it had be mentiomed that she had passed.
