My Mothers cousin Shelia Batrick born 1908, married Henry R Dixon in 1934 in Steyning,( don't know if they divorced or if Henry died) then in 1946 married John D Rennie in Cuckfield. I wondered how I could find out if she had any children who may still be living. I don't know where to look as I don't know their names. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
