My first cousin Shirley O Jermy married Bernard A Upton in Solihull 1956. It is possible that they emigrated to Canada.

I would appreciate any further information about Shirley, descendants etc.

For our reference re ages -

Shirley was born 1935, and Bernard probably in 1933..

Says British on the original cards but crossed out in a different writing to Canadian

Means probably they later took Canadian citizenship


Canadian bmds are closely kept and some have a 100 year closure so unlikely you will find if they had any children unless they late show on any electoral roll

There are several entries for a Bernie or B Upton in Ontario on
https://www.canada411.ca/search/?stype=si&what=bernard+upton&where=Ontario

No real way to tell if they are 'your' Bernard.
