	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 :-)

Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 1,290 Send Message	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????

Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 158 Send Message	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.

Member Since: August 2004 Posts: 94 Send Message	no not ruling it out at all, just meant the lady i contacted lisa rees is not related/tree for the ivy

	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? Selena
