Florence, to be honest, I'm much better with dead people than the living!
This is where you have to start using FreeBMD (website address above). If you put Mildred Lowry's name in the boxes and select search marriages you will see who she married. You can then select to search births and put her husband's surname in the box and Mildred's maiden name in the spouse/mother surname box and you'll find their children, and so on. It's a lot easier than I make it sound - go on and have a try!
I've done a little search already but it's not a good idea to post details of people who are probably still living on a public forum.
Once you've found names you can get someone who has access to electoral roll to look them up.

Thank you very much indeed. I will give take your advice and try this. It seems to be easier to trace the dead rather than the living. I will have to sign off now for a bit. Thank you once again.

Just a quicky Florence

W Derby (West Derby) is a district of Liverpool and not Derby.

Good luck with your search.
