Thank you miffed... I'lls tart a new post :)

These are the names and birth dates/places etc for the grandchildren of Jessie and George Thompson... I believe they are correct.

Joan Thompson.... b 1927 - West Ham..............Children of Albert Edward Thompson and Mary A. White
Joyce Thompson...b 1928 - West Ham

Beryl V. Ablitt.........b 1926/7 - Romford Essex....Child of Bertha Elizabeth Thompson and Henry C. Ablitt

Joan Hewston .......b 1924 - Romford..................Children of Jessie Edith Thompson and George Hewston
Iris L. Hewston.......b 1932 - West Ham


Adam Stanford ......b 1955? or 1964?...................Child of Iris L. Hewston and Arthur R. Stanford (second marriage)
Some confusion on the date of Adam's birth... one idea is parent's married in 1955 and he is born in 1964

These children of Jessie and George Thompson either have no children... or I have not found them:

Iris Thompson and husband William Elves
Charles Thompson.... perhaps Charles did not marry??

Genes Reunited found me one of my half-brothers and by my daughter going onto Facebook on my behalf with a clue to a half-sister, I discovered three more half-siblings....... My father re-married.... twice! I have since met 3 out of 6 half-siblings. Try all the above, with any clues you have.
Also, just open up a new post asking the community for help with an electoral roll look up and type all the details you have and whoever can access this will help.

The decendents that are surviving are probably in their 80's. I doubt if they are on facebook or ancestry..... My tree is on ancestry..... not on genes reunited. I guess their children could possibly be on one of the above..... hum....

You can also look for matches on here by using the search trees box above. And try Friends Reunited, Facebook and 192.com.
Good luck!

How can I get the addresses of living desendents of my ancestors I have researched? I have never met them.... they are probably still in England.
I would like to write them a letter.
