	I can find a son born in 1939 from the first marriage but not a daughter. Also a possible marriage for the son in 1960. Kath. x

	The birth is a bit too late to post the details on there as the son may well still be living If you use the link I posted and enter Joyce and Keeling as the mothers name and search for the year 1939, you will be able to check the name

	Put in the father's surname and mother's maiden name and look for any births that come up in the area they lived and after the date of their marriage. Kath. x

Member Since: November 2005 Posts: 47 Send Message	How do you get on electoral registers after 1960???
Member Since: November 2003 Posts: 28,261 Send Message	KathleenBell	Report	7 Jan 2013 10:43
	Older electoral registers are usually kept at the nearest library to the address and are (or were) not available online. However they are only searchable by address and not by surname. However it does seem that Andrew has access to them so perhaps some are now online. Kath. x
