Are there any children/grandchildren of Beryl S Janes (formerly Pritchard, born June 1928 and my mum's baby sister!) married to James Janes? I'm trying to research my grandfather, John David Pritchard - and if he is your grandfather (or great-grandfather) too, maybe you have a photograph of him? He died two months before I was born and I've never even seen a photo, let alone met him. His dates are 19.2.1894 - 12.1.1946.
Hope you're out there - somewhere! :)

Hi
You should be able to see by using freebmd whether this couple had any children.

Don't forget that we are not allowed to post any information on rootschat about possibly living people.
Are you sure that Beryl is not still living
-
No, I'm not sure whether she is still alive since I haven't seen her for over 50 years. I know you can't post about the living - which is why I've appealed to her relatives if they are out there - that's OK isn't it? Thanks for your help!
-
Have you established if they have children. :-\ If they do you may be able to find them on social media or in the phone book/electoral register. ;D

There are 2 Male Janes sp Pritchard marriages within a couple of years of each other 47 & 49 - just one possible birth in 1951
-
From my little basic research I think it would be the 1947 one - so I may have a 66 year old cousin - trouble is, if she is female, her name may well not be Janes anymore - that's the trouble I've had all along - we women change our names when we marry!! Thank you!

With two possible Pritchard/Janes marriages, the child bn 1951 might not be your cousin.
You will probably need to get a birth cert to see if the parents of the child are Beryl/James or not. If so , yes you have found a rellie, if not then you can rule it out.

I have sent you a PM. The 1951 birth really needs researching first though
