As you know there were two children, presumably you have the details

Look for marriages for them

Look for the names in search all trees

Just out of curiosity, Gillian, why did you not comment on the previous thread?

So much information was found but not a word from you.

Once more, Cynthia, thank you.

But really, Gillian has been a member for 8 years with 23 posts. Are we to assume that she doesn't know how to find her replies after all this time?

I honestly don't know Margee but it does seem to happen and it flummoxes me too at times.

The fact that she has been a member for a long time doesn't mean that she has been using the boards for that long of course. But where those 23 posts come from, I have no idea.

I've just checked and Gillian hasn't opened my message as yet. :-(

A daughter may have married late in life and have been living in London at least until 2014.

Have pmed the details., though whether the mail gets opened or not is another matter.

However if this is the daughter, she was going by Dufeu not Du Feu.

I have stressed this is only a possibility, especially given the variation in name.

Eayres (Northants/London) Walker (Surrey) Loveday (Northants) Moore (Tipperary)

The other daughter with a Wallner mother seems to have married and had at least one child. However the daughter was born too late to be a child of Leonard if he died in 1944.

Details pmed for privacy .
