Find Ancestors

I am trying to find my 81year old friends family. If not his family, but just where they could be buried.
He has been a loner all his life and slept in a wood most of it. He is now in a nursing home and is quite poorly, he wants to be buried with his grandparents and they are the ones i need to find.
His name - Albert B James Law
Born - 1929 Hertford county
Mothers Maiden Name - Sims
His family were Farm Workers and lived in a cottage called Warren Cottage? He has mentioned a Farmer called John Patten.
He has mentioned places like- Little Hadham, Mountfitchet,Albury, Bishops Stortford.
Names he has mentioned are- Elijha, William, Helena Sims (Maiden name)
He also told me that he was put in Watford Orpanage when he was 3 years old.
What i can gether, his father wasn't much good and he didn't want Albert.
I have spent many hours trying to find his family, but still no joy.. there are alot of Laws around Bishops Stortford.
If I could give Albert (better known as James) his final wish then that is what i will do, he deserves that at least.

this looks like parents marraige

just googled and it seems Warren Cottage is up for sale

Warren Cottage, Croxley Green, Hertfordshire, WD3 3JA
Facing the green - Reception room - 2 double bedrooms - 100 ft rear garden - Garage

there is somebody on ancestry with the same name Oscar E Law

with death date 30 october 1957

Thank you for all your help... I need it....James mentions the Warren cottage being thatched and standing on its own next to a church? but knowing James it probably wasn't thatched and was in a middle of a Town. We've got our work cut out.

Strange but that tree on Ancestry has the wife as Martha Elizabeth Wicks with a death in 1963


Wonder if they mean this one ?

Jame's mum was Sims, i do have that on record at least. We had to find out how old he was, before thay could but him in a Nursing Home.

Hi Tracy
I have copied and pasted this story to the person who owns the tree on ancestry and hope something comes of it.

Tracy

I am off to bed now, but I will check my thread tomorrow and I will be spending my day Law searching. Thank you all for your help.

I have been looking and still can't find where his possible mother was born. Maude H Sims?
Also where the family were based in 1929?
I am so new to all this, sorry if i am sounding thick?

cottage isn't thatched now but it is detached - looks very old - picture on the estate agents web site if you google the agents
