Hello from NZ. I am helping an 85 yr old friend discover his family tree. He grew up in an orphanage in Romford from 1940, after his father died of a heart attack and his mother was unwell after being bombed out in the Peabody Buildings in London. We have just discovered the birth of a previously unknown older brother, William George Foster, on 1st November 1929. Stanley has no memory of this brother, and his mother never mentioned him when Stanley met with her 29 years after their separation. We have presumed he died as an infant or child but have not located a Death entry for him anywhere in Essex, or in London where his Grandparent's lived. His mother's family have been easy to trace with the unusual surname Whan. Stanley and William George's father was also William George Foster. He died in 1938, age 38 years. I have used FreeBMD, GRO indexes and FMPast websites, also Ancestry.
Is anyone able to look up a possible burial for William George Foster (junior) b1929 as above? He was born at Old Church Hospital, his parents lived at Ingreway, Hornchurch/ Harold Park. Stanley thinks he would have remembered him if he was still alive around 1936.
Stanley would really like to know what happened to William George now he has discovered this sibling. Any help or advice will be gratefully received. Thanks for reading.
