Find Living Relatives

I would love to find descendants of Harry, William, James or Elizabeth Aiken, of Belfast. Harry deserted from the Tank regt in WW1. James was a tea agent, William a seed merchant, and Elizabeth had a daughter called Kathleen (Wilson). The last 3 all moved to the Bangor (Down) area.
Any info would be gratefully received!

Gilly11, have you checked to see if anyone else has these people in their tree? Use 'search all member trees' option from search box above right.

Can I just ask what the heading means? It isn't obvious how it relates to your query.

Which of the men named is 'Grandad'?

And when were these people born?

Take note that TWO of the children born to the marriage have died

The children are all in a GR tree owned by 'Gillian', but not in the OP's tree...............

William snr is in a tree owned by 'John', but, again, not in the OP's tree

Putting your tree on GR, Gilly11, is the best way to try to make contact with people researching the same names

Do try to contact the other GR members researching this family - they may be able to help you further
