ditto ValT

The middle initial should help to narrow the list down.
I wonder if their were other siblings, they could have been 20ish by the time David was born and in their early 40s by the time Gemma was born which could explain why they weren't known of !?!

Updated:
ValT - we're obviously on the same wavelength :-)

I'll look and see if I can find a marriage for Patricia, it could take some time.

I was wondering if David's middle name was Bryan????

Possible for Frederick Jnr:

Marriage
1959 JAS Long Frederick G - Dewick Hazel L - Ealing 5e 546

Child:
Birth
1959 OND Long Sharen T - mmn Dewick - Windsor 6a 343

(I've spelt Sharen as it is on the GRO index)

I have found a marriage for Patricia I Long and found them on 192 up to 2003 only.

I will pm Gemma with the info and she can try to get in touch and find out if this is David's sister.

If you search the tress on GR for Ivy Bryan 1919 their is a match.

Hi Gemma
Just read this thread through. Amazing detective work.
Hope you have some good news soon.
I went through a similar thing last week, wrote the letter and put in a self SAE and fingers crossed am waiting now. I have so much to share with them.

Hi Gemma

You're not ruling out Ivy Bryan are you? There were two registered in St Olave in 1919/beg 1920 both of whom could have been born in 1919. There is Ivy L Bryan who seems to fit with all your stuff and an Ivy G Bryan (mmn Tucker) who could be the one on Lisa's tree.

no not ruling it out at all, just meant the lady i contacted lisa rees is not related/tree for the ivy

Really want you to succeed so just making sure:-)

Just want to make sure I've got my head round this properly?

Ivy Bryan married Fred Long in 1938 when she was 19 years old. She had David in 1961 when she was 42 and had no other children.

Have you got David's birth certificate yet?
