Hi John, I don't know the family, and am not researching them, but FreeBMD shows the births of the children were registered as Elsie A. RULE, March quarter 1922, registration district of Redruth vol.5c, p.278; Eliza E. C. (presumably Cora), March quarter 1923, Redruth vol.5c p.266; and Cyril, December quarter 1927, Redruth vol.5c p.234. Elsie nee KEMP would have been 28 at the time of the birth of little Elsie in 1922, a bit older than usual at the time for a first child, so I went looking for a first marriage. FreeBMD shows the marriage of Charles L. RULE to Elsie RETALLACK in the June quarter of 1920, registration district of Redruth, Vol.5c, p.471. And, sure enough, in the December quarter of 1915, there is the marriage of Elsie KEMP to John H. RETALLACK, Redruth vol.5c, p.477. The death of John H. RETALLACK, age 30, is on FreeBMD in the June quarter of 1917, Redruth Vol.5c, p.244. St Illogan parish church burials show Charles Leonard RULE buried June 28, 1966, Cyril RULE buried January 1, 1934, and Eliza Ellen Coru RULE buried April 23, 1943, all in the same plot. The grave inscription has been transcribed as "RULE Cyril son of T.L. & S.E. RULE of Harris MILL 23/1/1934 (6), also Ellie his Mother 2/6/1963 (70) , also his father Charles Leonard 24/6/1966 (72), Cora their daughter died 20/3/1943 (20). See http://www.saint-illogan.org.uk/record_tables/parish_burials_a.htm That leaves, apparently, only one surviving child after 1943: Elsie A. FreeBMD has her marriage to Harry HICKS/ POTTER in the September quarter of 1947, Redruth Vol.7a, p.363. Her husband's name appears as Harry P. HICKS and as Harry POTTER. Elsie Audrey POTTER is buried in Illogan parish churchyard 14/12/1984 aged 62. There is a birth registration for a Harry P. HICKS in the September quarter of 1922, so it looks to me like he took the option of going by POTTER at least after his marriage. Any children they had would be well within the "still living" category, but I don't see any sign of birth registrations of children under either surname, or of a death of Harry. Thanks to J.K. Rawlings, its difficult to Google for any Harry Potter details.

Thank you so much Joanne. Didn't think to look at FreeBMD as I thought their cut-off dates were earlier!! I only had info given to me by my late father and knew that Cora died in a road traffic accident during the war, due to no street lights and subdued car lights. Many thanks for taking the time. John.
