Trying to find Hester

Hi I am trying to trace the family of my grandmother's siblings. My grandmother was Kathleen Grace Hester (b1913 Frieth Hambleden). Her parents were Susan Plumridge and John Hester. I've managed to trace back really well but am having trouble with more recent generations! Kathleen had a sister, Ruth (b1909 High Wycombe), a brother Phil (b1911 Uxbridge) and twin brothers David and Joseph (b1915 Uxbridge). I do know that David had two daughters, Bernice and Pearl and his decendants are possibly in the Sunbury area. Ruth passed away about a year ago in Weston-Super-Mare, was married twice and had a son (George Twitching) and I think, one or two daughters (unsure of the surname as I don't know which marriage they were from but Ruth's second husband was called Summers - suspect he's not their father). I think this daughter/daughters emigrated to South Africa. Phil and Joe emigrated to Australia. I don't know if they went together and I guess it was possibly in the 60s, if not earlier. My grandparents did go and visit them around 25 years ago but no-one can recall where they settled. I know they married and had families of their own so there must be loads of relatives there. I look forward to hearing from you.
