Find Living Relatives

My apologies for my ignorance on here, my mind runs like a dodgem car, goes anywhere but where I want to go. I just noticed a post from Ann Cardiff about Robert Matthew being married to Elsie Smith. It is these 2 people who are Roberts parents and my aunt and uncle. About who I have scant knowledge apart from their names. Robert M was from Scotland and at sometime in the dim and distant past they divorced or separated. Can the dynamic team work on this for me please? I know my aunt lived at 52 Worthington Street, Old Trafford, Manchester. Whether her husband Robert was there I do not know. Over to you.

OK Team researchers @ GR. Thanks for all your combined help on finding the last of my cousins. I am in contact with Robert Matthew via his son Phil. and I now have another branch to fill with information.
may I take this opportunity to hope that you are all enjoying this Christmastide and I pray that you, and all on, GR have a wonderful, enlightening, Happy & Healthy New Year. God Bless. D. :-D <3

Christmas card and message sent to that address, I will post results on here as and when. Thanks All for your input. D.

There's a Gwyneth at the address in Cheadle Hulme.

Looking at the electoral roll, it also appears that Robert could now be a widower. I will pop a short note to the address supplied and see what happens. It worked the last few times and I am in touch with cousins and a brother I knew nothing about [and vice versa] Thanks so much Rose , your a gem.

They appear to be in Cheadle Hulme now:

Don't know where my last message went, still getting back into the swing of things, so I'll post it again. In response to Rose's Q about looking for 1 child. I have found the other 4. It seems we are still a dysfunctional family but I have had some replies.
Robert C Matthew married to Gwyneth sounds right as he was/is married to a Gwyneth and as one of our grandfathers was called Charles then the C may well be significant. Thanks for all your efforts. D.

Robert was the 2nd of 5 children, Jean[deceased] Robert, Elsie[deceased] Audrey, David.

message sent asking poster to return with some feedback

Rose posted the 1932 marriage early on

it seems odd that Dave would be looking for one child of that marriage when there were apparently five children

We really need Dave to answer some questions before posting details that may not relate, I think.

Dave???

possible marriage to Wright in Middleton in 1961

did he have siblings Jean, Elsie, David and Audrey?

back to the drawing board - was Elsie's maiden name Smith?

doh :-S :-S :-S yet another one of my senior moments I fear

Ann Cardiff 'a 1959 marriage in Manchester for a Robert C Smith'

you meant Matthews not Smith? :-)

however it seems the name was Matthew not Matthews?

the possible children are Mark W and Paul James

d'you think that marriage I sent you could be him?

Can you confirm whether the name was Matthew? Did they have more than one child?

Rose

My apologies for the oversight. Her name was Elsie Smith, husband Robert was a Scot. They probably married around 1932-4 as she was 2 years younger than Mum who married in 1931. Last known address as far as I remember was in Worthington Street Old Trafford Manchester.
