Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 0 Send Message	I am trying to trace relatives of my wife, the Cottrell family, mainly from Birmingham area. Frank Cottrell born c1902 married Nellie Fenton, and they had 4 children, Sheila, Joan, Dilys and Derek. Frank and Nellie seperated in about 1934, when Nellie moved to Wales taking her son Derek with her. Derek has not seen his 3 sisters since, despite many visits to the Midlands. As Derek is now 75, and his siters were all older, there may be little time to reunite them. Any help would be really appreciated.
