Cook Leslie E T Disley Islington 1b 370a March 1937...twins?

I got these from http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Now your next step Dawn is to look for marriages for the children, I'd start with the boys it's easier because they keep thier name! Then look for thier children, who are likley to be alive today!

The link I sent you above is very good but sometimes Ancestry can help just that bit more.

Let me know if you need any help

Dawn

this is a tough one, I cant find any marriages, immigration records for any of them. They cant all be dead and they cant all have not married!

Maybe there is someone else on here who can lend thier expertise?

just thought this site does charge for credits about £15 for 100, they dont time out so you can use them as and when

You can search for living people on here, it might be worth looking for the male siblings of your mom
