Hi All,
Have two Aunties that I did not know about and it was you being so helpful that put me on the trail.
My Father was Arthur David Gurney know as Kenneth Nathaniel Butler after adoption.His maternal mother was Winifred Sophia Mary Gurney 1904-1988.
 Winifred had two more children which I believe are both deceased. I would love to know more about them.

Winifred is shown as having been the proprietor of a Wool Shop presumably in Croydon UK and I guess in the 1960s to 1980s.
I would love to know more and get some photos of close relatives I have never had the pleasure to meet. Any ideas or details anyone would like to uncover would be fantastic.

Thanks
Markham, Gurney, Grimwood

Have you thought about obtaining Margaret's death certificate?  I don't know what the criteria are for requesting recent death certificates.  You may or may not know the necessary information to order one.  Below is the website for details of contacting the registry office.

Whether the information on the death certificate will be helpful I couldn't say.
Ashford: Somerset, London
England: Devon, London, New Zealand
Holdway: Wiltshire
Hooper: Bristol, Somerset
Knowling: Devon, London
Southcott: Devon, China
Strong: Wiltshire
Watson: Cambridgeshire
White: Bristol
Windo - Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire

My bright idea would be to send Margaret Dawn Stangi's funeral director a note to pass on to her NOK.

Or to send Margaret Dawn Stangi's Antioch Church a note to pass on to relatives

https://funeral-notices.co.uk/wales/death-notices/notice/stangi/4611585?photo=start

Doing an electoral roll search on GenesReunited.com throws up 4 Stangi's in the UK, some in London, not a common surname? Maybe they are Margaret's children (or at least one of them?)
Wemyss/Crombie/Laing/Blyth (West Wemyss)
Givens/Normand (Dysart)
Clark/Lister (Dysart)
Wilkinson/Simson (Kettle or Kettlehill)

Thank you for the information and help. I have spoken to the Undertakers and have agreed that I will send a note to be passed on to relatives. Its just as you suggested.
thank you
Off to Genes Reunited now for a closer look. Another website that I am unfamiliar with. My research prowess increases thanks to Roots chat.

You could try writing to the local newspaper for that area asking relatives to get in touch.

I also suggest removing names of recently deceased persons. I think that is in the guidelines too.
