Find Living Relatives

My Great Grand Father was called Morgan McClellan Avery from Guildford, Surrey
we would love to make more contact with more living relatives. My Mum's name is
Daphne Hilda Montague (Avery) and her Father's name was Denis Gilbert Avery and her Mum's name was Hilda Avery.

My name is Jackie Montague and I still live in Guildford, Surrey and we would love to hear from anybody and meet up.

Welcome to the boards Jacqueline.

It's unlikely that anyone related will just happen by your posting unless doing a google search for the named people.

Try the Search facility top right of this page and then Search all trees. Input your information to see if there are any matches (often less information inputted is better) and you can the click on "find out more" to try and contact the other tree owner/s should there be any.

GR never removes trees unless asked by the member, so don't hold you breath for replies unfortunately, as there may be many reasons why the person doesn't or can't reply.

Keep your own registered with GR email address, so contact with you can always be made in the future.

In the meantimes, if you want help from other members about your own tree, make a post on the Find Ancestors board saying what you already know and what you want to find out

EDIT - PLEASE IGNORE THE FAMILY POSTED BELOW AS IT IS WRONG

Welcome to the boards Jacqueline.

Have you used the "search" facility at the top right of the screen? If you click on that and then click on "search all member trees" and then put in some of these names and year of birth you can check to see if anyone else on Genes has any of your family in their tree. You can then click on "find out more" and send a private message and then just hope that anyone with your family in their tree decides to reply, although some people may not still be members.

Trees on Ancestry have a few Morgan McClennan Averys. The one that Kath has posted above is not the father of Denis Gilbert Avery.

The tree that I'm looking at says that the parents of Denis are Morgan McClennan Avery (1884-1917, killed in WW1) and Nellie May Gardiner. This Morgan McClennan Avery was a brother of the George Morgan McClennan Avery posted by Kath. This tree has a photo of Denis as a young boy.

This is the marriage of your great grandparents:-
