Welcome to the boards Arthur. it is unlikely that anyone related will just happen across your message, you need to seek them out.

Click on Search top right of this page
Them click Search all members trees
Enter Surname, dates and area - there are quite a few.

You can then contact the person who has them in their tree - explain why you think you are related and ask to share information.

Be aware that many members for one reason or another don't reply and don't expect them to necessarily open their trees for you to view

Best of luck

Do you know the names of your aunts and uncles?

Have you tried to find out about any of them?

Their marriages would be on freebmd, as would births of any children they may have had

I can't see your mother in your tree, so I can't look for anything to try to help you
