Find Ancestors

Ive just found a family member that I knew nothing about. He was my dads cousin Keith Manners b 1926 in Manchester North. He had 2brothers, 1 died as a baby and the other was killed in WW2. His parents were Arthur and Elsie, please can anyone tell me any more as I know little about his parents and nothing about him.
Thanks Nicky

What was Elsies maiden name please

Allen?

Were Lawrence & Geoffrey the brothers that died?

Ive just re-read the email i got from Lawrences old school and thats definately the Keith im looking for as some of the details match up.
Thank you so much for your help, I knew nothing at all about Keith before 4.30 this afternoon!

Ive looked for Keith and his wife Eileen Cameron Dentith Elmsley and can find no record of their marriage , any children or deaths.

Im still looking for any information on Keith and Eileen after their arrival back in England in 1952.
Please can anyone help? Id really like to find them

Try 192.com

Thanks, ive tried 192 and had no luck

I cant find any death records for Keith or Eileen, cant find any births for children either. Think that means I must be their next of kin. Ive not contacted the RAF, was hoping I could find him.
