I'm searching on behalf of my friend for the same people. My friend's nephew is daughter Elizabeth's son born in Plymouth in 1956 who later moved on and remarried. Would love to trade info and to find out where you fit in too!
Looking forward to hearing from you.

thankyou for getting back to me.
I am the daughter of Elizabeth, and the half sister of her son Stephen, I am unsure if Stephen has any idea of my existence so this might be a bit of a shock! I was born in Plymouth in 1960 and adopted, my birth name was Susan Evans.
I am hoping to find out some more information about Elizabeth, and Stephen if this is okay with him.
Any information you might have would be greatfully received and I am very happy to share what info I have. I went to New Zealand in November 2009 and met Elizabeths 1st cousin Roger, who was the son of Leon Couchman, Cyrils brother, so have some info re the New Zealand side of the Couchman family.
I look forward to hearing from you
best wishes
