Hi

My late grandmother, ne Jessie May Oldfield (1913) was one of about 13 children to Harry and Eliza Oldfield. She lost total contact with all of them and never spoke about them. Needless to say, I would like to solve this mystery, find out why all contact was lost and trace living descendants as most of my mother's side of the family are unknown.

I have ascertained some of the names of the siblings which are the following:

Jessie May Oldfield - Born 1913 in Middlesborough West
Lily Oldfield - Born 1891 in Thornaby (York) and died 1895
Joseph Oldfield - 1893 in Whittlesey (Cambridgeshire)
Emma Oldfield - Born 1896 in Whittlesey (Cambridgeshire)
Harry Oldfield - Born 1898 in Whittlesey (Cambridgeshire)
James Oldfield - 1900 in Whittlesey (Cambridgeshire)
Lillian Oldfield - Born 1901 in Whittlesey (Cambridgeshire)
Arthur Oldfield - Born 1903 in Whittlesey (Cambridgeshire)
John Oldfield - Born 1906 in Thornaby (York)
George Oldfield - Born 1909 in Thornaby (York)

If any of you know anything about the above mentioned people, please could you let me know. It would mean a lot to my mum to figure out what happened.

Thanks
