Find Living Relatives

I am trying to find any living relatives of my father, David Alexander Cuthbert, born 1949. His mother was Beryl Cuthbert (Russell) Born 1907 and died 1970, his father was also David Alexander Cuthbert, not sure of the birth date or date of death. i think my father had two sisters, I think their names were Heather and Margaret Crow, and a brother but not sure his name. Unfortunately I don't have much info to go on as my father never really spoke about his family and he passed away last year.

I can't find your father's birth on FreeBMD nor the marriage of David Cuthbert & Beryl Russell. Do you have his birth certificate?

Births Jun 1907 (>99%)
RUSSELL Beryl Stoke T. 6b 220

Not seeing the marriage had she been married before !!

Marriages Dec 1931
Langton Leslie H Russell Stoke T. 6b 381
Russell Beryl Langton Stoke T. 6b 381

Not seeing the death for Beryl

Is this family in the UK

Where does the surname Crow fit in

Having looked in members trees is it your tree that has him born in
Vereeniging, Gauteng...

If so then those records won't be online as it's South Africa

Edit there are a few records on Ancestry

Claire, you really should have mentioned that the records that you were looking for were in South Africa!

Thanks for the info. Not all the records are from South Africa, Only my father was born in South Africa, but his sisters as far as I know were born in the UK. My grandmother was also born in the UK but I am not sure where my grandfather was born which is why I didn't mention it. I am trying to find any living ancestors from my family and I am not even sure where they would be based.

Beryl was married to Colin Crow first in the UK and then married David Alexander Cuthbert in South Africa

Marriages Mar 1934 (>99%)
Crow Colin A Russell Westminster 1a 835
Russell Beryl Crow Westminster 1a 835

I don't see the births of Heather or Margaret 1934-60 in England/Wales.

The only Crow /Russell births are a Rosemary A in Ecclesall Bierlow , and a Hilary E in Sheffield.

Were Heather and Margaret also born in South Africa?

Travelling with the above Rosemary and Hilary:

I don't see the birth of any other Hilary E Crow. Beryl's daughter was born 3rd qr 1938, so the DOB given matches that.

The 1970 daughter probably married a Henson in Leeds, 1997.

On Leeds ER in 2002.

Two possible sons, born Leeds, 1999 and 2003.

Have PM'd Claire with details up to 2002, at least.

Don't see the Henson family definitely after that, nor in the BT Phonebook online in Yorkshire

EDIT:

The husband is listed 2010-17 in Leeds, with his brother Anthony. His parents also listed at the same address, though his mother Denise died 2002.
I don't have credits to see the full address.
The wife not listed with him, but maybe she's opted out of the public ER.

I would like to see if I can find any information on Frances Crow d.o.b 21/12/1945 born in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa and was given up for adoption. She was adopted by Eric Murrell Ware and Ivy Gladys (Elms) Ware and named Susan Gay Ware. She would have been my late father's sister.

I now have the dob for my grandfather David Cuthbert. It is 3 June 1905. I don't know where he was born as the handwriting on the passport is terrible. He died in 1959 in South africa. Any help locating some info about him would be appreciated :-)
