Find Ancestors

Trying to find out what happened to cousin Peter when the family lost touch c 1960. As we were children, we were not involved in the events that caused the rift, so it would be great to see if we breach any barriers. There was some talk that Peter's father, Edwin, went to New Zealand or Australia (he was a farmer), but I don't know whether this is fact. Maybe Peter stayed with his mother, Joan? Edwin was the son of Arthur Alfred Dick and was born 1919 in Hitchin. He had one older brother, Philip (my father) and a sister, Hilda.
Any information would be gratefully received

Any dates? Place(s) where Peter might have stayed with his mother?

Odds of Peter seeing this would seem slim, but somebody might be able to point you to ways of finding him, with a little more info!

Not sure. Originally they lived in Essex/Suffolk, I think. Joan had friends/contacts in the Guildford area of Surrey. Not much to go on!

There are several Edwin Dick-s in the death index for 1984-2005:

Harry Edwin Dick 10 Sep 1943 May 2005 61 Tameside Greater Manchester


but only one born in precisely 1919:

Death Registration Month/Year: May 1998
Age at death (estimated): 78
Registration district: Eastbourne

Might it be him?

Just a possible starting point -- of course he could have died before 1984 or after 2005, or still be alive.

If you thought that was him, the death cert could give you information about address at time of death and family.
