I'm sure a lot of the above has been posted before, but ploughing through 5 pages of (sometimes lengthy) posts is not on my agenda.

You have a date for Reg's marriage. Is there any way to search Irish records for that?

Hello..... I just wanted to add an update to this thread as I had so much help from people and I am so grateful.

My Husband has now reconnected with His lost Aunt Sheila, Uncle Charlie and many cousins and we all have a lovely connection. We are still actively searching for Uncle Reggie with a Facebook campaign and a Twitter campaign to be launched in the next few weeks.


In November 2018 we received a message which shook us all. We were contacted by a family who had seen our online posts and thought they may be another part of this family. In fact we were informed that Grandmother Marjorie Adelaide may have married in Ticehurst Sussex in 1920 to an Albert Fry and they had 3 children. Clarence born 1922, Albert born 1925 and a girl born in 1928. In 1930 their mother disappeared with the lodger never to be seen again. In 1946 the husband instructed Solicitors to try and find his runaway wife so that he could remarry. She was never found, so in October 1946 she was declared legally dead. her daughter is now 90 years old and never knew what happened to her Mother. When we connected we decided to use DNA kits to confirm the connection, as the Mother of the 90 year old also used different variations of the usual names. Those results came in over Christmas and we now know for sure, that my Husband now has another 2 deceased Uncles and another living Aunt. So in all Grandma had 9 children that we know of. We now have records of her in 1920, but nothing between her birth and 1920. We will continue searching.


Our goals now for 2019 is to make a concerted effort to find Uncle Reggie but to also meet up with this new side of the family.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those on GR who help others and myself. If it was not for the Genealogical community so many people would still be searching for answers to family puzzles.


From my family to all of you a Very Happy New Year 2019!!!!!!!
