I am looking for any relatives of my mother, on my birth certificate it reads Annie May Kittle, but she was welsh, surname Collins.
My father Kenneth William Kittle was born in September 15th 1923, I do not know my mother's date of birth but am lead to believe she was of similar age.
I know very little about my mother's family, only that she had a brother called David Collins, who as young children, my brother Robert and I, my name is Julie, came to live with him and his family for a few months as our mother was ill with cancer, in Merthyr Tydfil. That would have been in around 1967/68, I believe I was 3 or 4, and my brother Robert would have been 6 or 7. I remember there were several girls, daughters of David, and I remember the mother, his wife was kind.
I know that my mother lost her own mother as a young teenager and that her father remarried. I know the relationship was not good with the step mother and that when her own father later died, she went to live with an aunt.
I also have an older sister Anne and a brother Tony who has since died.
We lived in Gantshill, Ilford in Essex and I know that my mother and father had lived there for many years. My parents divorced when I was six and my father remarried, hence I have no contact with any relatives in Wales, that was in 1970.
My mother Annie May Collins died of cancer when I was eight or nine, in 1972/73. She had turned to alcohol and as a result my brother and I were raised by my father and step mother.
My father died in 1992.
If anyone believes they know of my mother from the information I have shared, I am trying to find information about her, my place and date of birth, it would be good to have her birth certificate,and maybe have contact with some cousins. I do not know if any of her own siblings would still be alive today.
Thank you.
