Thanks for the help. It looks like Mary Ellen is a half sister of my maternal grandfather.
Cheers, Sandra.

I am trying to find out any information on Edie Mair of 94 Leavesden(?) Rd, Watford, Herts, as at 7th December 1964.

I have a letter written to an aunt of mine here in Australia in which she writes that her husband, John, passed away 9 years previously, & she has 3 brothers & 2 sisters. Edie is 71 years old at that time as well.

I am hoping to find out if she is a relative of mine. I come from the Chapman family which lived at one time in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. Hope someone is able to help me.
Thank you, Cheers, Sandra (Australia)
