Thank you for all your help. I didn't consider that I might meet relations at the start of this quest. The Wines branch of my tree goes make to the 1700's and in my case the actual name ended with my Grandmother (Doris Wines Auntie). I shall take on your tip and try to contact Milton's family.
:-)

Contact Karen Olsen Leverette - she might still have contact with the family, or give you some clues as to what happened.

It's difficult to find Sarah as she may have married. No marriage record available = no new surname.

If you know the names of the other children, we may be able to find contact details for them. Sometimes we have to go 'sideways' to get to the person.

Thanks again for your help. It seems everyone but Doris and Susan are recorded. Even Susan is a mystery - she was born in Jan/Feb 1947 but Fred and Annie (Gparents) on Queen Mary give it as November 1948. I have a photo from America with Susan 2 years old on her birthday in 1949. Birthday is therefore 1947? will I ever solve the mystery:-)

Thankl you for your help. I had seen something about Kevin before with few details but have no idea who the third child was. Doris still seems to have disappeared from the records after 1948 yet I saw her on one of her brief trips to Britain long after this. :-)

The tree says she had a son called Kevin and that he died in 2005. Must be a bit out because there's this:

Many thanks for your help. 1948 was the latest I could get but Doris came to Englanbd in the late 60's and I saw Susan in 1955 when her Grandparents brought her to England. After the 1948 records all seems to have gone quiet. it seems in the first years the Grandparents seem to have been in the forem of Susan's life. Its frustrating when my mother (a cousin of Doris was sending birthday cards up to about 1970.
Many thanks - you were a great help :-)

If all else fails, you can order a copy of Sarah's BC, and Milton + Doris' MC (if it occured in NJ) from here

http://www.state.nj.us/health/vital/gen.shtml

Try the various links from the free site below to see what is available, and what help can be given from those 'on the ground'

Would you know Doris' exact dob? If she were to have divorced, it might be possible to find her on the SSDI by first name and dob.

Mind you, if her yob is similar to Milton's, she may still be living.

It's unlikely that you will find marriage or birth records on line - there certainly isn't a national register; they'd be held by the State, or even the County.
