Not seeing them. What year was Fanny born - is it that Q2 1908 Prestwich birth mmn Evans? Or when/where did she die - possible dob will show

James may have already been away in the Forces so wouldn't be recorded and if the children didn't die until after 1990-ish or are still alive ( as I think you know) they will not be open records unless their death is known and has been proved.

Thank you for looking yes I realise the children will be blocked a couple have died thought their might have been a chance Fanny's parents were Jabez Allsopp 1837-1936 mother Fanny Evans Green 1871-1931 both Manchester.

It's so annoying when people just seem to disappear

Do you think they left to country for a while? There's a gap of over 10 years between Philip and Judith.

Just to catch up I've had a word with my 2nd Cousin The marriage for James in 1958 to Pauline Keating is right he's her eldest brother

and No James wasn't in France he worked in the aviation industry possibly fairy aviation and possibly played in their brass band, so he was in a reserved occupation

she was born 1945 and she doesn't know anything really about the her paternal side of the family

Maybe the band has archives and could tell you if he played for them ?
