There are two possibles on electoral rolls a Pauline M with William A West, or a Pauline J with William A West, but the children's first names are just too common to pin down, and Pauline and William may not have married?

English & Welsh On line BM&D indices aren't available after about 2006. That's why you can't find a reference.
If your uncle gave some indication where he died, it might still be possible to order a copy of his DC. The information on there, such his address & informants details, might help you contact other relatives.

Hi yes the news was about my dad he was going by the name of william Anthony west and he passed away in 2013, however I was also told I had two sister one called Mary born 1971 and Julie born 1976 and a brother micheal born 1974 which I can not trace would be grateful of any help there mothers name is Pauline we believe she changed her last name to west

Anne, a friend has asked me to add this link to a group on facebook who are very good at helping find people. "Aussie and UK Angels"

When you say you " I did write to Cecil and it turns out he is my uncle and Brenda my Auntie. There was bad news, even though I can not find record of it"...was that bad news generally or specifically about your father?

Add: another question, what was your father's occupation on the marriage cert, just wondering if it was something that might show up in a search?

I was born in Corby northants, I did write to Cecil and it turns out he is my uncle and Brenda my Auntie. There was bad news, even though I can not find record of it. I am still looking for family now. Thank you everyone :-(

Anne.
Exactly where were you born??

It is a very long shot that Cecil could have been in the military? there are a couple of overseas births West/price on FMP consular records?

Anne, did you write to the address for Cecil in Rochester?

It's ok I have gone back over all messages and I did contact Pauline and no response just do not know where or what to do next time is flying by and my dad is no closer makes me feel so.sad. :-(

What was Paulines last name as can't seem to find her

No I didn't hear back from anyone, I followed all what everyone e said

I've had a look on Face Book but no luck . Only William West I found was born/bred/lived/lives Gtrimsby and is age 73

Anne, I assume you did not hear back from Mary who had connected people in her tree?

Or Pauline who has Anne Lower's sister in her tree
Relation Name: Mary Lower

Date of Birth: 1911

Just to recap the important bits from the thread, so that helpers don't have to keep going back to look :-)

Sorry Rose.

Anne,

There is another Mary who has some of your relatives in her tree. You can send her a message here:

Something along the lines of "sending you a PM regarding possible marriages in Bristol". would have sufficed.

Sometimes it is not possible to post on open thread as people are living and giving out too much information is not accepted.

I didn't mean to undermine any ones help,just trying to abide by the rules of this site.

Pleas note I have edited the message earlier to remove any names of people who might still be living!

Maryb.

It's possible he's emigrated as he seems to have disappeared, I think the possible uncle is the best bet for contact. Anne has the address for Rochester and have advised putting a stamped self addressed envelope in with the letter. Hopefully this will lead to Anne's father.
