Find Living Relatives

Louise, if you want me to try to contact Margie through ancestry to see if she knows anything more on the half sister let me know. You'd need to send me a PM with your e-mail address which I can pass on, but I've no idea if she is still an active member.

I would think the half sister was younger than John, and born in California - as they were still there when John's SSN was issued in 1973.

Margie's notes say AC was a gunny-sgt in the marines for 20 years (served 2 tours in vietnam), so maybe they went to Oklahoma when he left.

Just seen your post, most of our info has come from ancestry - but mundia.com is it's sister site. You have to register, but it's free - however it does not allow you to contact tree owners.

You'll need to register with Mundia first, but if you do - this is the link to Margie's tree (she was JC's youngest sister born in 1936)

Thank you all, I have been in touch with Noras' granddaughter in Oklahoma.

What an emotional day you've had. Hope you are OK <3

If the granddaughter can fill you in on Nora's life and possibly put you in touch with any other children, you may at least be able to 'paint a picture' of her.

It may be that, after the initial contact, both sides find that they don't have much in common that's assuming that they knew Nora had children in England.

One chapter in your life has closed. Time to move on <3

Good luck Louise, hope you find some answers!

Once again a GREAT BIG THANKS to everyone who helped it certainly has been a day.That is one half of my family done and as I do not know the name of my Father I will can not even try. :-D :-D

Hi Louise,

Thanks for the PM with your e-mail address, I'm just posting this so other helpers know I've sent a message with your contact details to Margie Covey - just hope she is still an active member of ancestry.

Not sure which granddaughter you've contacted, because it looks like AC had other grandchildren from his previous marriages - you need to tread carefully, (and you obviously don't need me to tell you) but you'll only find out more with their co-operation.

Let me know if Margie or her husband Bill gets in touch, otherwise we'll go back to the search for other avenue to try.

all the best

Louise,

So glad to hear you have made contact in USA, do hope you, at the very least, get to piece some of Nora's life together and maybe get some answers......
