Finding long lost cousin

[mollykins]

Me and my cousins Niamh who both want to do marine sciences are looking for another distant cousin who also wants to do something similar.

But there's noone left in the family that knows both sides so it's incredibly diffilcult to find them. They're my great nans cousins great great grandson (don't ask me to put the apostrophes in that) but we're pretty sure that they're in the year below me.

We know that it's a male, probably in year eleven, and that he goes to a grammar school (or somewhere else for intelligent people) somewhere in the midlands, but that's about it, apart from the name of our common ancestor.

Is this a hopeless cause or is there a way of finding him?

In slight hope of finding him, Niamh has posted a message on a student forum that is mainly used by students of higher ability but he might not go on there, and we can't think of anything else, as there's noone else in our family that knows anyone else in this other persons . . .

can you find any venables or rishforths from then, or were the rishforths furtherback from them? I think the decendants of this michael might be Sheila and Julie at some point but you might need to go down a couple of generations first.

i've found the Rushforth - Law births:
George 1921
Vera 1924 married Michael Snow
Ronald 1926 m Holloway
Betty 1928 m Emery
Grace 1930
Jean M 1936 m Poder
Stanley 1938 m Fishe.

no venables so far except a Sharon A Law married Ian W Venables in 1973 at Wolverhampton

That sounds a plausible route . . .
