Cecilia Loftus Brown

[robshfds]

I have a book of songsheets which belonged to a lady called Cecilia Loftus Brown.  I'm trying to find her son's descendants but not sure where to look.

Fact: Son's name was John Peter Barrie Waterman born 1909 in UK (probably London) I think.
Mother moved to USA (New York area first) in approx 1923. 

I'm presuming that the son went with her, but have no details on that.

Can anyone help me find the family please?

She died in New York on Jul 12 1943 and is buried in an Actors' plot in Kensico Cemetery.
Her son was living in London at that time

I had that information, thanks everyone.  What I really meant was, can anyone help me find her living relatives.  I need more information on her son if possible.  Area he lived prior to death, was he married etc.

Rootschat isn't really a forum for tracing living descentants and we aren't allowed to post details of anyone who could still be living on the boards so we can only give general advice on this thread but if anyone has recent details they can get in touch by PM (Personal Message).

I understand that this isn't the forum for tracing living relatives, I just wanted to know about her son who is long dead.  From him I can trace the living ones myself.

Hi Robyn
I can't find any record of John having married.  He was born on 1 December 1910 and evidently was a London producer.  This is a possible death for him:  Jan-Mar 1963 Fulham - John P Waterman, age 52.  Dazey

Thanks Dazey.  I will check it out, but it seems as if I'm back to square one.  If only I could find out why this book came to be in the Hull auction rooms when all evidence points to London, Scotland or the USA.
