Looking for descendants of three first cousins of my father. Reginald (1921), Gladys (1921) and Grace (1928) were my fathers first cousins born in the sooth side of Manchester (Openshaw or nearby). They were the children of my great-uncle Thomas Richard JOHNSON and Elizabeth May WILSON.

As a family we lost track of them in the 1950's, and have no record of any marriages for the three cousins. I'd like to find out more about this family, and marriages and 2nd cousins I can contact!! Also what became of Tom and Lizzie (as they were known)?

Perhaps someone from that area may just remember this family......

An update:

concerning my request about Reginald, Gladys and Grace JOHNSON, my dad's first cousins, I should have pointed out that great uncle Tom and his family were all from Barnton in Cheshire - which I where I was brought up. Tom moved to Manchester after his marraige so his three children were born there.

Any news of these three would be gratfeully revcived - still interested in getting in touch with then or their descendants.

Cheers
