hildas parents were charles william cookborn 7th june 1913 and her mother was beatrice alice watts thankyou sue

You seem to have his family sorted out.
What other information do you want that you could not have asked him when he was still alive?
If you know where he died, have you looked in local newspaper archives for obituaries and notices?

Sue, are you trying to track the family further back, or are you trying to find descendants?

the reason i have asked fof help is that i have not seen eric since we were kids then i only saw hin afew times at my nans and now that i am doing that side of my family tree i can not find any thing on his dad other than what i have got on him his mum who was my grandad sister and i cant ask any one because they are all dead thanks again sue

jes i am trying to track the family back further and trying to find descendants as well i have gone back on the cook side but can find nothing on the chew side thanks sue

you have to give a location Susan - where in the world?

Hello Sue, it's not unheard of for parents in those days to name a child after an earlier deceased sibling.

However, I do think you might have your names and dates mixed up. :S
