I am trying to contact descendants of Clifford Twigger of Leicester, he was a musician and played the organ.

He lived for a while at Keythorpe Hall Leics. He had a daughter, Sheila, and I understand she had 2 children.

Clifford and his wife may have lived in the Westcotes Drive area of Leicester.

Please can anyone help?? :-S

I found the same as you Glitterbaby.
There were 3 children born to Sheila and her husband (, married name Payne.)
They were born between 1957 and 1961 2 sons and 1 daughter in Melton Mowbray Leicester.

If anyone would like to check the details and see what they think.
Thanks Sylvia.

Glitterbaby thanks.

Pamela Report 23 Aug 2012 08:22

Thanks to all for the help offered, it is indeed George Clifford Twigger, it has been very useful. As it is his descendants I want to contact, perhaps I should post to Sheila Payne.

I have items in my possession that should rightfully be with this family. Maybe I could look up issue of Sheila Payne. Can anyone help with this??

How do I print off what has been posted?

+++DetEcTive+++

+++DetEcTive+++ Report 23 Aug 2012 09:59

You'd have to use the facility on your computer as there isn't a 'printer friendly' version of this on the GR page.

Right at the top of your computer screen there is probably the name of your browser in the left hand corner. There is likely to be a drop-down list of options including Print from that.

If you do use that option, you'll probably end up with pages and pages, including any adverts you see. A better option would be to copy and paste the text you want to keep into a word document (or notepad) and print that off.

Thank you DeTEtiVe, I shall try the copy and paste option. thanks again :-)

Pamela Report 23 Aug 2012 16:53

I have printed off the info with the cut and paste method, great!

I have spent a lot of time on this project in the last 24 hours, thanks to everyone for help

I now realise that I need to contact Paul H Payne b.1957 or Nigel H Payne b.1959. I have also found two daughters, Dawn and Victoria, but of course their names could have changed with marriage. :-|

Pamela Report 23 Aug 2012 16:59

Continuing the search for descendants of Clifford Twigger - now looking for his grandsons Paul H Payne b.1957 or Nigel H Payne b. 1959 from the Melton Mowbray area of Leicestershire.

Any bright ideas please??????

Look on http://www.thephonebook.bt.com

There is a Paul H Payne living in Melton Mowbray LE14. Just use Melton Mowbray as the place.

Presumably what is his ER household 2002-2003 & 2005-2007 is on http://www.192.com/all/search/

Unfortunately, I can't see an obvious marriage to a Sheila B, so it may not be the correct person.

Care needs to used if you decided to write to them.
