So that shows one of the Jacobs children.

I would like information regarding Edna M Knight b. 1921 in Leicester, father Charles Knight, mother Dora Barwell.
Also who I believe is Edna's half-sister, Beryl Daniels Knight b. 1929 in Islington, mother Dora Barwell. I think Beryl may have sometimes used the surname of Jacobs which was her step-father's surname.
They are connected to my family although not blood relations. I would just like to know what happened to them.
