I am trying to help someone find her long lost school friend. time is running out as she is very ill. I know its not an ancestor -but it would make her so happy
Please can anyone help? I would look at my local library as they have Ancestry but it is shut now till Thursday.

If you can PM me with any info as this concerns living people -I know she'd be very grateful

I need to find Barbara Lawrence - born betweeen 1943 and 1949 and lived in Devon. lived in Newton st cyres She had a sister called Nancy. Can anyone help please. I have no idea if she married or anything. Hoping to start with their births and then maybe she had a middle name? then maybe a marriage/electoral roll?

But PLEASE PM AS LIVING PEOPLE -thanks for any help x

Just wondering why birth year is so vague, if this is an old schoolfriend?
You can search for births of Barbara & Nancy on Freebmd.

Researching:
Myatt, Hanks, Eccleston, Powell, Clungunford, Birmingham
