Find Living Relatives

Searching for relatives of adopted daughter; Nancy Sullivan or O'Sullivan nee Cole.
Mother, Lilian Cole- married Bertram Cyril Parry Follett 1919?

Not sure exactly what you are looking for

Am reading it that Lilian had a daughter Nancy who was adopted or took the name of Lilian's husband Bertram Follett

Is that correct !?!

This looks like him on the 1939 register.no Lilian with him


He states he is married

The 1919 marriage certificate of Lillian and Bertrum may help in finding the Cole family,,,,,it will give age and fathers name (if one is listed) for Lillian........census then could help..
