I'm searching for any children of Tom and Gladys Walker born in Chelmsford on the 1940s, 50s, 60s.
Tom was born in Pontypool and was my uncle (although I never met him) and would love to make contact with my cousins.

You don't know their names? Do you know that they had children?

Was Tom's name Thomas? Any middle name that you know of? If you have his exact birthdate, and assuming that he is deceased (if born in the 1920s, very likely), it could be possible to identify his death in the post-1984 index at Ancestry by his birthdate. The same for Gladys, if you know her surname before marriage and her birthdate could be found.

If you do know her surname, the GRO births index can be searched at Ancestry for births to parents with the two surnames in question.

Because the children are still living, the birth details would be sent to you by private message here.

It's highly unlikely that anyone who knows your cousins will ever read this, and without any names it's even less likely it will mean anything to someone. But with some facts and details, you can do searches that might find your people.

If you do know their names, have you searched trees here at GR for them? Searching for Walker born in Chelmsford 1945-1965, say, finds a dozen or so people.
