Find Ancestors

I am trying to find the family of my late grandmother, her name was Carnation Jones nee Lovell.
On her death certificate is her sister's name Mrs S McCarthy. Carnation died in 1919, she had son's Thomas, John and my dad Arthur, Arthur was fostered out I believe due to his mother's bad health. I think his foster mother was a Mrs Taylor, who when widowed remarried and become Mrs Lowe.
I wish to find if there is any family from my nan's sister's side of the family.

(2 possible records deleted as the people may still be living)

Unless there are baptism records around, the only sure way to know if they are the correct family is to buy the birth certificates.

K and H could still be living. Once you have read this, I shall delete them.......edit.......now deleted

Please Tracey, I could do with all the help I can get!

Hi, I got your post from google.
I am the great-great grandchild of Susan Lovell (born 1890) and James P McCarthy. They married 1912 in Cardiff. Is this a possible link with your family? They had about 6 children (still looking to see if they may had more) and one of them being Susan May McCarthy who is my great-grandmother.
:-D

HI Banana2

Not sure if Christine is still around.

In case she doesn't check the thread anymore, send her a message by clicking on her name. She'll be notified by GR if she still has the same email address.
