The Common Room / Re: Ideas on how to contact a distant Cousin

As his daughter is likely to be still living you need to delete her name from your post.

You can check the GRO website or FreeBMD to see if she married as you may need to search for her by a married name.

Social media can be a good place to trace living people.

The family in Dover in 1911 are a better match (except for the father's occupation) for the family in 1921.
