Susan Report 1 Sep 2011 10:56

I am trying to trace the children and grand children of Edgar and Mary Helliwell who were married about 1908. Edgar had 2 brothers James and John. I do not think John ever married and he finally died in cleethorpes in about 1970's. Can anyone please help me. I know my dad who was Frederick Peter Helliwell said he had cousins living in the grimsby area in about 1980. Susan

Start by finding the maiden name of Mary........look on freebmd for their marriage.

Then use the same site to look for children of the marriage....after 1911 the MMN is on the index.

I hope you've looked in search trees to find out if anyone else on GR is researching this family..............
