Well, I would hate to miss out on joining the Christmas wish list...you never know if Santa's checking in. I would love to learn more about and meet descendants of Alfred J. Brown (b. ??) and Lily Caroline E. Clifton (b. 1910), marriage recorded at Camberwell, June 1935 and with children Veronica, Valerie and Geoffrey (each likely born somewhere between 1933 and 1940). I believe Alf worked at the South Metropolitan Gas Company and, but can't assume that is accurate. Already checked with them for records. Michael Clifton Canada
Hi Michael I have the three birth registrations for you which as its straying into the living person territory I will send off list One note, I do not find a Geoffrey but do find a Jeffrey in 1940 which looks a possible for him You may find its a bit of a trial tracing these in more recent times due to the surname, not exactly unusual :-( Ancestry have the births, marriages and deaths indexed now for the whole of civil registration up to 2005, you might find a trace of them by a thorough search in them which may lead you forward if with luck they marry someone with a more distinctive name but there is no guarantee of that unfortunately and it would involve certificates to prove the line Any of the childrens birth certs might give you Alfreds occupation but unlikely to say who employed him The dreaded genesreunited might be worth a try ?
