Hi, William -

What do you want to know about them?
Do you mean you hope to make contact with John and siblings?

For helpers' reference:

Marriages Sep 1934 (>99%)
Rees Violet Shields Shoreditch 1c 100
Shields John H S Rees Shoreditch 1c 100

John was born in Pancras reg district, with middle initial S.

I'm not posting the details, William, as he may still be alive, for all I know.
You can look his birth up for yourself on Freebmd, if you haven't already done so.

His brother was born 1937, Pancras.

The three sisters were born Hackney, in 1941, 1946, and 1948.

I'll PM the records from FreeBMD.

The middle sister married in Haringey in 1968. (Find it on Freebmd.)

She may have been living in Nottingham, at least up to 2013 (search on searchelectoralroll.co.uk and 192.com)

PM sent to William with POSSIBLE 2013 address of the middle sister.

I'll say again, William - this only a guess - she may not be the right person.
