The name of the tree owner on Ancestry is........dahallett40

If you don't have access to Ancestry, I would be quite happy to contact that member on your behalf to ask if they would be willing to share information with you.

If they agree, I could then pass on your email address.

(Don't post you email address on here.........I will ask for your email address privately if that is what you would like me to do)

I think some relations might be living closer to Hampshire.

Also- do you have access to Ancestry? There is a public tree that has a photo of Kitty's Mum and Grandparents (Nice surname)

Are you looking for any particular living relatives that you actually know to be living in Swansea or are you unaware of any living relatives who live there?

Think you're on the right track Mike- I don't see anything else that fits.

Kitty married 1940 to Joseph Whitehill had 2 daughters and a son- last daughter was born in Hampshire. Looks like Kitty married again in 1955 in Portsmouth to Robert Hannah.

Possibly Kitty's death 1963:

I think you had better start again.

Was Judy/Judith actually born Juliet ?
Was Kitty actually Morris not Morrison ?

Is your wife still alive ?

No sure if I'm following the right line
