Find Living Relatives

Passed away in Hull 1975, married to my aunty Ethel May. Looking for surviving relatives of Ronald. Many thanks Lynn

Look in ;search all member trees’ using his birth year and birthplace

Has Ethel died?

Find Ronald’s birth on freebmd, then look for siblings and research them

He is in THREE trees on here

Thanks. Yes Ethel died 4th February 2024.

He's in 5 trees on Ancestry - two female siblings are private on some.
One mentions a sister, Doreen, 25 June 1930.

According to the Ancestry tree, Doreen married Geoffrey Sykes in Dewsbury in 1951.

One son is listed, but with details kept private.

Per FreeBMD, the son was born in Dewsbury in 1951.

The son MAY have married in Dewsbury in 1974 - but he wasn't the only child of that name born in Dewsbury in 1951 - and of course the man who married may not have been born there, nor in that year.

If the 1974 couple had children, they weren't born in Yorkshire.

Ronald's father had several siblings:
