Margaret Rose FORD (Margo)

I thought I’d just google “Gloria Averil” in case the “May” was superfluous, and hey presto! I came across not just ‘my’ Gloria Averil, but her family too! I had Lionel and Dorrie with 3 children, but I never knew their son’s name. I also had Margo as Gloria’s sister, which could have been Margery, Margaret, Margo etc.. Anyway, I stumbled across this website (http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/f/i/e/John-Fielding/index.html) which documents the FIELDING family. Margo (Margaret Rose, it turns out - Margaret after her maternal grandmother, and Rose after her aunt?) marries Leslie FIELDING, and it’s their son John Edward FIELDING who has done the website. It has been invaluable to gather not just burials, births and marriage information, but also to find out that I have living relatives in Australia, something which would have been very hard to do without John’s website information.
I have emailed John to find out more, and hope he will get back to me. As it stands, there are very few known descendants from Daisy’s siblings: Charles & Evelyn (4 children - not previously known about, so will be very hard to trace); Lily & Fred (no children); Rose & Arthur (Russell 2 daughters are in Canada, although I have managed to trace which school they attended); Captain’s sons Lionel (deceased) and Donald (not known?) have children scattered across Europe now; Donald’s only surviving child Frank has Leanne and Neil - both in Australia; and now Lionel’s great grandchildren, Jason & Janelle.
