Find Living Relatives

Trying to find anyone from the above family. Who lived in Sheldon in le 1950's early 1960's. May have worked at the Rover Car Plant. Any information gratefully received.

Susan -

have you tried "Search All Member Trees" under "Search" at the top of this page?

Enter the name of any of the family, along with approx. year of birth.
If any results seem to be relevant, click on "Find out more" at the right hand side of the screen, and send a message to the tree owner, explaining your link with the person in their tree.

You may be lucky - though often people don't reply quickly, if at all, for many possible reasons.

Thanks for this have found one Ann Rees from Birmingham and have sent a message off last month. No reply as yet.

Unless you know first names and birth years, finding ANYone is very difficult.

Are you related to the family in question?

Have found the Rees family living at 54 Frodesley Road, Sheldon on 1955 voters list. At the property are Gower -J Rees, Nancy Rees and Doris Rees. The search continues for more information. Have found a family in the 1939 census Gomer Rees his wife Nancy and daughter Ann. May be the same family. Any ideas where else I could search. Thanks.

Well, Ann married a Sheasby, so look for possible children on freebmd

1939 gives birth dates, so use that info to look for deaths

EDITED

The marriage was 1961

could be husbands death

The Sheasby daughter may possibly have married in 1993 in Staffordshire.

I can't see that couple together on 192.com

Gomer & Nancy's marriage :

Marriages Dec 1934 (>99%)
Hawkes Nancy Rees Neath 11a 1965
Rees Gomer Hawkes Neath 11a 1965

In 1939 Gomer's DOB is given as 1 Sept 1914.

I don't see his death (or birth) conclusively.

There is this birth - but not matching that DOB (which of course isn't necessarily correct) :

Births Mar 1914 (>99%)
Rees Gomer Maggs Neath 11a 2139


There is this death. DOB doesn't match 1939, but Cardiff is where Nancy later died:

Norman Gomer Rees
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Norman Gomer Rees
Death Age: 59
Birth Date: 12 Jan 1914
Registration Date: Sep 1973
Registration district: Cardiff
Inferred County: Glamorganshire
Volume: 8b
Page: 1108



I don't see the birth of any Norman Gomer Rees.

There's this possible birth:
Births Sep 1914 (>99%)
Rees Norman G May Portsmouth 2b 813

[ Birth shown as July 1914 on Ancestry. ]

But I think this is probably the death of that child:

Norman G Rees

Name: Norman G Rees
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1915
Registration Year: 1915

Can't thank you all for this information will use it to further my enquiries. Thank you all your brilliant. x

I am sending a huge thank you to everyone who replied to my post. From information received I have managed to help my cousin find his family. Not in the UK but in New Zealand. It is the best present he could receive. Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year,

Good news, Susan!
