You need to use FreeBMD site - here:

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Take one person at a time e.g. Jessie:-

Choccy gives this marriage for her above:

Marriages Jun 1954

JORDAN Jessie A WALTERS Saffron W. 4a 1331
Walters Richard C Jordan Saffron W. 4a 1331

Use the BMD site and put in search details as:

Births
Surname - Walters
Mothers maiden name - Jordan
start the search at a 1954 date and you will get several results - it would appear that there was more than one set of parents with that combination of surnames.

But, you can pick out 2 which are at least in the correct geographical area - I won't post the details on here as they are probably still alive but there was one in 1957 and another in 1961.

You can then see if you can follow them via marriages or deaths etc., or whether they had any children.

Actually, you are in luck - both of these people appear to be members of this site.

You can search trees above and find their contact details and send them each a private message. They may well be willing to share some of their family history with you.

Best of luck,
