John Report 15 May 2012 17:07

Hi, I'm trying to find any living relatives from my grandmother's rather large family. In particular, anyone who has any information about her - Lilian Ivy Maud Roskams, born 1900 in Hackney - or one of her elder brothers - Sidney Henry Roskams , born 1891 or 1892 in Croydon, married to Florence Cadd in Edmonton in 1920.

Sidney owned a greengrocers' shop in Tottenham in the 1940s and 1950s. Rumour in the family seems to suggest that Ivy (as she was known) separated from my grandfather when my Dad was young and went to live and/or work with her brother in Tottenham.

If anyone can help, I would be very grateful. Thank you.

so both parents died before 1911 which explains Ivy being "adopted" on the 1911 census
