I am trying to find out about my late grandmothers brothers and sisters. My gran was Rose Mary Mitchell and she married Robert Edmund Thompson. She had many brothers and sisters, most of which I can account for but I have three missing links namely
Ellen Lorraine
Alf and Jim

I am trying to find out where and when they were born and if they married.

Any help would be great.

Thats correct - I can remember Lily and very vaguely Violet - Ellen I have no information about but have just found WPBC site where there are transcripts of deaths and have her as dying in 1917. James and Alfred are still eluding me though

and James - assuming they were both born in Weymouth as well.
