Not strictly genealogy but ......

............ I am looking for old neighbours from the late 1970s to perhaps 1981. I have no surname for them. The parents were Grace and Flix, and their children (in order from eldest) were Jerome, Kafwana (sp? but this is how it sounded) and Victoria. The youngest would have been born between 1977 and 1980 I think. The parents came from Africa (Rhodesia, Zimbabwe) and so the surname would probably reflect this and the address was in Walsall, Staffordshire. I doubt the parents married in the UK - well I can't find the marriage record anyway. When they moved out, I think it may have been to another county. Have tried Friends Reunited and Facebook and also the birth records for the children, but tedious without the surname - any ideas?

What about the electoral register for that time period, would they have voted?

could the christain name have been kefilwe?

It could have been Dot .... I just remember it was said as Caff -wanna ........ so wad assuming my spelling if his name.

Since they were neighbours then obviously you know what their address was. It might be worth applying to the Land Registry on form HC1 for a historical copy of the register of title to the property. More details are at http://www.landregistry.gov.uk

I've just come across this after looking at the 1911 census records on genes reunited. I understand you are related to Alfred Isaac 'Pasha' Jones of Walsall. Could I ask what the relationship is as I believe I am related to him by marriage.

I've found a Jerome M Kerr marrying in Walsall in 1994, but I can't find a birth for him in this country. His brde was born in 1974 would he be about that age?

dollydaydream drop me an email at [email protected] and I can explain more and share a better tree and some photos as I am related to him yes. And Craft, yes the age would be about right, but we think (having spoken to parents this evening) that the family left the UK as they were only here short term - and Maggiebee - I doubt they would have registered to vote as it seems they were only her short term ................ so I think we are at a loss. Anyone have access to the Electorial Roll to
