**GEORGE & BIRD Families** Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire
« on: Tuesday 06 June 06 13:02 BST (UK) »
Hi I am looking for my fathers sister or any existing relatives of the above families. Her name is Joan Winifred George born 1922 Luton, Bedfordshire.
My father's name was Duncan William George born1928 Luton, Bedford. I believe that the family were involved in either the Army or Navy.

Family names: George, Fowler, Stewart, Davey.
                     : Bird, Newburry, Stonnell, Gobey.

Is there any way that I can look up recent Census records or Electoral Rolls?

Cheers
Bronwyn
