Find Ancestors

Hi, I am trying to trace the siblings of Ivy May Rea. I have been told that she was one of 18 children but some may have not surved up to adult hood. Some of the names I have been given are Frances,Annie,Alice, Emily,Tom,Jim (james) and Frank. The parents I have for Ivy are Thomas Rea and Sarah Starling but I am not sure if that is correct?

All help would be very much appreciated

Ellen

an area would help please

I am not too sure? I have been given the name Slades Green. I will have to see where that is

The Kent area

Any chidren after 1911 can be found using the surname combibations of the parenst

Thank you so much Shirley. Will I be able to find the other children on the free bmd?

looks like mums previous name may have been Sayers as Albert and Frances are called son and daughter but surname Sayers

Ellen

Start by checking on freebmd for the marriage(s) of the parents....to establish that you have correct info.

Then follow Shirley's advice and look for children after 1911 by inputting the surnames in the appropriate boxes on freebmd

yes and you should be able to find the children who died too on there as its not a usual surname

Sarah Ann married Albert Sayers in 1885 before Thmas Rea so she could have had a couple of children before she married Thomas?
