I have a copy of a family tree.  in the space below the marriage details some of the lines point to 2 children, 3 children etc.

However some point to simply:  d.s.p     

Logically this would indicate no children, or "no issue" to use the legal term.  Has anyone encountered this and can tell me what these letters stand for?

Thanks for any help.

A fairly distant relative died suddenly whilst on a visit to Australia some time between 1976 and 1994, exactly where remains unknown.  He was born in Derbyshire and at one time was a leading figure with the Young Farmers Clubs; attempts to trace him through them have met with no response.  Any relatives who may have known him have moved and most likely passed on.

Most of the databases deal with deaths of Australian citizens so no luck there.  I have tried to trace him via UK local newspapers obituaries but unfortunately there are several people with the same name also connected with Farming.  However I try to reframe the query finds one of these. 

Has anyone any suggestions as to how I could trace him? 

Having discovered the marriage of two ancestors, how can I find any children from that marriage without knowing their given names.

Thus:  Emily Elizbeth Bloggs married George W(?) Jones in Manchester in 1937.  They probably had children but I don't know any names, other than they would be John/Jane Jones and born (say) 1936 to 1950.

In computer language I would use * Jones between 1936 & 1950 but this doesn't work.

Would I use the mother's name as Emily Jones or her maiden name of Emily Bloggs?

I'm assuming that whatever terms used would work in any of the major Family History databases.

Anyone any ideas?

I have obtained an aircraft loss card (Lancaster ND389) which shows several of what I think are navigational 'way points' which may indicate the route taken on a bombing raid to Aachen in April 1944. This was from RAF Wyton (83 Sqdn Pathfinder Base), to the Dutch coast, towards Cologne and then south past Aachen, swinging round to the south of the town and approaching it from the East.  At this point bombs would have been dropped and the aircraft would return towards the Dutch coast only to be shot down near Antwerp. 

The above is the result of a very rudimentary plot of the course.  Tthe internet based maps are of varying scales and multiple sheets which makes the gaining of an overall picture something of an impossibility.  In any event the 'way points' are few in number which leaves scope for much guesswork.  So far I've not been able to obtain a map of a reasonable scale such that a single sheet would cover the area I need - most cover way too far to the east

Full navigational details would have been given at operation briefing, but I wonder if there are any maps, official or otherwise, showing some of the more common routes taken?  Places to avoid would have been generally known by mid 1944, so there may have been some commonality to the routes which together with the loss card data might enable me to build up a clearer picture of the route taken in this case. 

Any information on how navigation worked would be appreciated.  My Grammar School maths teacher was a navigator with Bomber Command but like many who went through it, he said very little.

Co-ordinates on the loss card are not clear but my interpretation is:

Base   5242N  00:5W  (RAF Wyton Nr Huntingdon Cambs)
5200N 0330E
5044N  0610E
