Try looking in members trees which is under the search heading above the boards
Put in some names and see if anyone has them in their tree.
You can then try to make contact by clicking on the find out more box

Use the free site to check for possible marriages of the children and then likely births to those marriages

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

For example - it would appear that Elsie married in 1937 to Arthur S Selby

Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Mar 1937 (>99%)
Bell Alfred Latus Sculcoates 9d 401
Latus Margaret Bell Sculcoates 9d 401
Lill Elsie E Selby Sculcoates 9d 401
Selby Arthur S Lill Sculcoates 9d 401

One birth shows in 1937 in the Sculcoates RD.
She then marries 1955 in Hull RD
2 likely births to that combination

Thank you, I'd already directly messaged several people from these 2 families but had only one unsatisfactory reply, the rest remain unopened. This message board has been much more helpful, we will keep trying, I already have some new leads.
