Sorry in advance if this is long and confusing. There are so many people here who are great with finding records, I thought it I would give it a go and ask here.
I am looking for a connection between a living person and my family
My family has told me *living* is the grandson of my ggrandmothers sister.
I have found 2 birth dates for him, I'm also having a hard time linking him to my family.
My ggrandmother is a hard woman to trace the name she used is Kathleen Lynch.
b: 1892 d:1970
Her death record shows her as Catherine ( Apparently her name was Catherine but hated it so made everyone call her Kathleen.
She married Louis Stanley Whitby 1897-1980
Apparently she had a brother named James Mory Lynch b: 1885 - d: unknown
James married Mildred Whitby:1895-1983
( Mildred Whitby and Louis Whitby were brother and sister)
( kathleen/Catherine and James were brother and sister)
I don't Kathleen's parents names and don't know any info about any other siblings.
I have found some death info about *living's* wife, her name was Karen Moore she died 28 Feb 2013

Sorry but we aren't allowed to post details of living people. It's explained in the Help pages-

Even help in tracing kathleen/catherine and her brother might help

Thank you :)
H was my grandfather - Hugh Whitby died in 2001
We know a lot of information about the Whitby side of our family but all the other parts are very hard to trace.

Well that's not what you wrote above :-\
So, which sister do you need to trace? They are on the BDM.

Sorry about that, I had to edit my post cause I posted info about a living person.
I didn't have complete proof about her parents cause of the confusion of Kathleen/ Catherine
kathleen has been on some of her kids birth records.
I'm not sure what sister it is I need to trace and i can't name the living person, sorry for wasting everyone's time. I really appreciate all the help though. I think I am allowed to PM living names ?
-
Yes, you can PM the names...
-
If anyone would like to help send me a PM and I will send you the names.
Thanks in advance :)

kathleen has been on some of her kids birth records.
Hi Leanne,
Are you referring to the actual record, or only to the database entry you have perhaps found online at a commercial website.... It is a NO NO at RChat to copy paste from those databases (reply # 15 or thereabouts). If you have the actual record then perhaps you could type up your own transcription of the actual record so we can all help you further. I have many offline NSW resources and there's many other RChatters who can also look up their offline resources too.
Cheers, JM
