Children of Leonard Stace, born 1924 Essex

Hello,
I am looking for any living children/grandchildren of Leonard Stace, who was born in Essex in 1924. As far as I can find he had 3 children (Christine b 1948, Romford, Heather b 1951, Romford and Melvin b 1947, Romford). I found a marriage for Christine so she became Christine Browning in 1964, I believe, and Heather became Heather Winsley in 1967, I believe. I think there may be other children, but I can't find them. These would all be my mum's cousins and we would really like to find them.
Many thanks

There was also a Stace/Johnson marriage in Essex in 1963, so any births after that date would have to be verified with certificates

There are two Winsley/Stace births on freebmd, but until there is certainty about WHICH Heather married Winsley, there is little point in pursuing them

Heather's alleged death in 2020 ( as per info above) was not registered in England/Wales, unless under a surname other than Winsley

There were TWO Heather J Stace births in Essex in 1951, so unless you have the cert, not sure that you can be certain which of them married Winsley
