Thankyou for your replies
So Ivy E Sears died in Vancouver Canada

What about her son John W Sears and his wife Joan Sears and thier children
I wonder if John W Sears did die at the Airport London
Like I said before there isn’t anyone who would no , just what was said ! A few years ago
Did they also live in Canada
You mentioned the Electrical Roles in Bedfordshire,
I will go to the Hucknall Library and have a look
Then get back to you !!
Thankyou Olive

You asked if John Sears and Joan Hicks had three children.

I can only see one Sears/Hicks birth - at least in England/Wales - in 1950 in Westminster.
You can find it yourself easily on FreeBMD

(Badly mistranscribed on Ancestry as Searleysears!)

Others presumably born in Canada.
