Hi,

I have found the following:

Beatrice Margaret Ostler b. 1919 West Ham
Ronald G Ostler b. 1921 West Ham
Leslie A Ostler b. 1923 West Ham

I Can't find William J R Ostler, I know he existed because he is listed on Grandpa Ostler's will.

Can anyone find his birth please. Mother's maiden name Lightfoot.

Thanks Sue
