I think I have found lost sister of my father Ivor Melvin Brookes

Whilst she was on 1911 Census she was not on 1939 Register. However my oldest Brookes relative contacted me from California and told me she had married a William Henry Benjamin Blakeway and had a son John Anthony Blakeway in 1934 but died in childbirth in 1934 . son was brought up by Blakeway family as father married a Annie Rudge in 1935

Elizabeth was an Aunt who nobody in family ever mentioned and I thought she died in infancy
