Looking for my cousin Elizabeth Ann Burroughs (nee Connor )

Her father emigrated from NZ in the 1940's and the family were believed to be living in the Essex area.

My father is the last of the 11 siblings still alive and we would love to find out more about her father John ( Jack ) and his family line.

By chance I am currently in Brighton UK on holiday but live in New Zealand and would love to solve this mystery while I'm here.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply - wasn't sure how much to add re personal info.

Born 1947 Essex UK (we believe although haven't been able to confirm this).

We have her details and a last known address from her fathers death certificate which places her in the Essex area as late as 2003 and we have marriage records but can't find anything recent and address is out of date.

Have search BT phone records, census, etc...

Ok

As mentioned you need to search the trees on here

Go to search top of screen

Select all members trees

enter Elizabeth Connor 1947 born Wellington and she has a tree on here which is about 4 years old but hopefully has the same email address

so click on 'find out more' next to her name and send her a message

The family came over in 1948 and were going to an address in Chigwell Essex

Researching:
Nothing much

She actually has two trees

One is about 10 years old has an account number that is in the one millions...probably not in use now

The one that is more recent is in the 10 millions

you will see the account numbers when you click on find out more as mentioned above

Researching:
Nothing much
