Hi there, I am trying to trace a niece of Solomon Fingard, her name is Linda J Vickers born in 1957 in London. I need to find out what her married name is if possible in order to trace her. She was born to Parents Katherine Bertha Vickers (nee Fingard) born 1929 died 1986 and Albert Vickers born 1925 died 2013. Any info welcome please.

Many thanks

Seek to buy Alberts death certificate,where the informant could be a close family member,if so it will show an address for them,which could lead you to find the information you are looking for.

There is this marriage in London if she married young:-

First name(s) Linda J
Last name Vickers
Marriage quarter 2
Marriage year 1975
Registration month -

MarriageFinder ™

Linda J Vickers married one of these people

James G Longhurst

Spouse's last name Longhurst
District Camberwell
District number -
County London
Country England
Volume 11
Volume as transcribed 11
Page number 1214
Record set England & Wales Marriages 1837-2005

However there are other marriages for the same name in other places, so it would be a risk buying the marriage certificate, but father's name would be confirmed.

Would Albert be Albert William Vickers?

His estate went to probate. The entry gives his date of death as 12 April 2013
https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills

Although GRO references aren't available on line, you can still order a DC with an age at death, and date of death via their site.

You could also order a copy of the Will & Probate (via the probate search site) hoping it will give up to date details for Linda.

Maybe she is the informant on one of her parents death certs

It's worth getting the latest one

He was albert w

Marriages Dec 1952
FINGARD Katherine B VICKERS Hammersmith 5c 1329
VICKERS Albert W FINGARD Hammersmith 5c 1329

So I would get that probate

Even if his daughter wasn't the executor you may be able to trace her through them

Was looking in case she was with family who may have descendents still alive who would know about Katherine's family

As Linda was born in 1957 she may have been married before Katherine died

It's also worth getting that death cert to see who the informant was
