Looking to locate PEGGY and BELLA Mackay sisters of John George Mackay. Last knew of them in Welwyn Garden City area. They had brothers Jimmy,Danny (Royal Navy diver), and Freddy. Danny had a son named David also in the Navy.

The sisters will be in their 80's. I so wish to contact them.

Have you done any research....to find out, for instance, whether they married?

Any searches would need to be done using their given names.......I imagine that Peggy and Bella are not the names with which their births were registered, although it isn't impossible

So, so sorry for not replying before now!!

Hope your research is going well, my father's name John George Mackay born Jarrow 1910.

Just got further information (possible?) Margaret Mackay may have married George F Thompson 1923 south shields.

That's as far as I have got with this one.

Thanks for your response.

If the marriage was in 1923, the participants will not be alive

You said originally that the sisters would be in their 80's, but have considered a marriage 1923?
I think we need some feedback. Basically you need your grandparents' names - or at least your grandfather's from your father's marriage cert.
