Hi, Just to say never give up hope of finding any relatives even when you know no information. I have just found two cousins of my mums of whom we knew nothing about. My mum is 82 and when her dad died when she was 4 her mum lost contact with his family, so mum knew nothing about any cousins or aunts/uncles. Thank god for the 1901/1911 census's as they gave me her dads siblings names, and so the search was on. Just before christmas I made contact with two cousins and we hope to meet up in March.
