Welcome to the boards, Tara.

You have Donald, born 1942, place unknown, in your tree.
Stanley, 1938, Edmonton.
Gerald H, 1940, Edmonton.

Could be 7 siblings in all, one born several years after the rest.
You can find them on free bmd.

This marriage:
Marriages Mar 1938
Dell Stanley V Wheybrew Islington 1b 340
Wheybrew Elsie E Dell Islington 1b 340

Elsie in Tara's tree, born 1913
Stanley, in tree, 1913. (Is this an approximation, or are they same birth year?)

This looks like Stanley:
Births Sep 1917
Dell Stanley V Greenaway Pancras 1b 139

Do you know that he is definitely 1913 birth year?
Thanks

Thank you Patchem
I think Gerald may have had 7
I have found a cousin I have sent messages to a few people but it depends on whether they come on here often or the other thing is they may not want to know me.
My dad left when I was 8 weeks old
ignorant here where do i go for bmd?
Thanks
Tara

Your Father appears to have married again in 1975, (probably not showing on free bmd, I looked in ancestry) and shows with that wife on 192.com ER in 2002.

Added:
Using that place of residence, he appears to be on bt online.

Added:
This might be second wife's death, but would make her significantly older than him, so possibly wrong couple:
Vera Lilian Dell
Birth Date: 5 Jul 1924
Date of Registration: Mar 2002
Age at Death: 77
Registration district: St Albans
Inferred County: Hertfordshire
Register Number: A55C
District and Subdistrict: 5351A
Entry number: 124

wow thank you
I have guessed the years of birth for Elsie and Stanley the dad.
Elsie I know definitely passed away but do not know the year. I had heard my dad had found another woman and possibly older than him.
I really do need to learn how to use these sites
Thank you so much
Tara :-)
