I would like to get in touch with any family of my late uncle. I am his brothers daughter.
He lived in Turnford Herts and died in 1993.
His mothers surname was Knight and he originated from Sebastapool in Monmouthshire.
His family may not know that they have cousins. <3

I have found his death registration and have a copy of his death certficate. the Qualification on it states "causing the body to be Buried". I have been told this is likely to mean he was registered by an hospital official and not by someone who knew him and probably the funerealwas arraned by the LA. I have found a possible marriage and I am waiting to see f the actual marriage certicicate can be found. He may have married a Margaret AP Taylor in 1966.
i cannot find a death registration for her.
any help gratefuly received

If the marriage is correct then she could be born up to 1950, so could have married again as he died at a young age.
Have you found a likely birth for her?

You can purchase the marriage cert on line from the GRO for £9.25

The father's details on the cert will tell you whether it is your uncle

IF it is, you can start to look for possible offspring

Was this man your father's only sibling?

Researching:
I am in no way related to anyone for whom I do lookups To acknowledge any info I may post, please do NOT click on my name. There is a large white box entitled 'Add your reply' for the purpose.
