Find Ancestors

Hi all, I am researching my mother's maternal line and seem to have reached the limit of what I can find online. I grew up in Australia and not know my mother had uncles and aunts until I began researching her ancestry (unfortunately after her death). My grandmother was Grace Evaline Fenn, (1908-1982), the daughter of Henry Fenn (1869-1911)) and Rosalind Ives (1870-1942). If anyone has information on Grace's siblings and/or descendants, I would very much like hear from them.
Thanking you,
Steven.
