Hi all

I am searching for living relatives of my Grandfather Martin's family and I am stuck and need help.

My Grandfather is William Charles Martin born 20 August 1920. He was the last born Martin in the Battersea/Lambeth/Wandsworth/Surry area that I know of. He moved to South Africa in 1940 and I am wanting to find my living relatives in England. I do not know if he had any brothers or sisters, but I would love to find them if he did.
His father William George Martin born 10 November 1896 on his birth certificate, but the 1901 and 1911 census say he was born in 1897. He married Dora Mary Sherrell Robertson in Wandsworth in 1920.
His brothers and sisters that I could find in the 1901 and 1911 census: Alice Martin born 1892, Thomas Martin born 1893, Mildred Martin born 1896, Albert Martin born 1901, George Martin born 1905, Eugenia Martin born 1907 and Leslie Martin born 1911.
All the above brothers' and sisters' parents - George Martin born 1870 in Battersea. Sarah Alice Brindle born 1871 in Sheperds Bush Midx. They married 1890 in District Fulham.
At the time of the 1911 Census they were living at address: Address:
13 Gladstone Terrace,
Parish: Battersea,
County: London
Country: England
Registration district: Wandsworth

If anyone knows of living descendents please could you contact me.

Thank you for your help.
Kerry Laurie (nee Martin)
