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.

They married in 1920 in Radcliffe. I found Keith by accident when I googled Lawrences name. Lawrence went to a school in Bramhall and they keep archives. Theyve just emailed me back to say he had a younger brother Keith

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
