Elvin family croydon

[Kenny Davis]

Hi everyone. I am looking for some help with tracing my dad's mother's family. I have been a member or another site but have hit a brick wall. My Nan's name was Mary Anne Elvin and her parents were  George Elvin and Helena Penfold. I was hoping at getting help finding out her brothers and sisters names and to see if anyone knows/ knew them.
Thanks
Kenny

Welcome to Rootschat

I was hoping at getting help finding out her brothers and sisters names and to see if anyone knows/ knew them.

The Elvin/Penfold marriage was 1925.  Have you looked on freebmd for Elvin births with a mothers maiden name of Penfold.   I can see a number of births between 1925 and 1937

www.freebmd.org.uk

As some could still be living - their details cannot be given here

George A Elvin b 1925 died 1968 Surrey - married 1946 Croydon - see freebmd for details of spouse

Robert Elvin b 29.12.1929 (birth reg March qtr 1930) died March 2000 Bromley

A number of the children have unlocked records alongside George & Helena on the 1939 census (where they're hop picking in Kent) which suggests they may have died, however I'd not like to name them publicly just in case

OK - there's one I can directly match dob on 1939 and death registration

Robert Elvin
Birth   29/12/1929
Death   March 2000 Bromley, Greater London

A brother listed on 1939, b 1925, probably has died, but not sure

A sister b 1928 has a death date on a tree on Ancestry, but that's too recent for indexes of death registration to check against


Sadly there's also Ellen Elvin b and died Q4 1926
