Im trying to find Margery's family she was my Dad's sister who he never saw again after he was 16. It was a long shot I know to find her still alive but I would still like to find her family.

Any help is much appreciated.

Sorry Carole, it isn't going to be easy, there are 2 births for the same name in Surrey 1948, and both appear to have married in Surrey in 1960. One married Burgess, the other married Batt.

Without getting the marriage certificates and confirming father's name and her age it would be virtually impossible to know which one to look for I'm afraid.

I think I have picked up that her daughter's name is Patricia A Maynard born in 1948 in Surrey I need to build on that, trying to buy credits on here but it dosnt seem to be working properly.
Thanks for you help

the best move you can make is to get a copy of Margery's death cert.

as she only had the one child as far as can be found, the odds are that she was the one to register the death

You would find out what her surname was at the time, which would at least give you something concrete to work from
