I would like to make contact with any family of Constance who married David Foster in 1933 in Co Durham, she attended her mother's funeral in 1969 and her half brother is my father-in-law. Her mother was Jane Hannah Watson, although Constance was brought up by her grandfather William Watson and his second wife as their daughter.

Hi Anita.

Have you tried putting any names you have into 'search all trees' - found in search box above. This will bring up any matches in other members' trees.
Also, have you looked for possible children on Freebmd?

An Ancestry tree has Constance and David, but has her recorded as Connie! They had 2 children according to them, David and Ian, but no further details given.

I have sent PM re. the births which correspond with the info in the above tree - but only a birth cert will conform that they are correct. Unfortunately they aren't the easiest names to research!
