Can you help reunite a woman with her long lost relatives?

Sylvia Brice was just 10-months-old when her dad Leslie died in the Normandy campaign in 1944, aged 22.

The 71-year-old is now trying to trace anyone related to, or who knows, him or his twin sister Ruby, who married Hubert Rivell at the Holy Trinity Church on December 27, 1943.

It’s believed they had a daughter.

The pair were born on December 3, 1921 and lived in a two-up two-down house at 44 Frederick Street, Sittingbourne, which was opposite a general store run by Mr and Mrs Mockers - it is now a hairdressers.

Their father’s name was William and their mother was called Charlotte Jane.

"When my mother died she left me a lot of things of my father in a bag and I was looking through it thinking I don’t know any relatives of his" - Sylvia Brice

Mr Brice was introduced to his partner Grace Jackson through his friend, and her brother, Charles (Charlie) Jackson.

The couple married at Finsbury Register Office in Islington, London, on December 24, 1942 and their daughter Sylvia was born the following July.

It was only when her mother passed away on that she started to become curious about her Kent roots.

She said: “I had a step-father who was a lovely man but it occurred to me I know very little about my real dad.

“When my mother died she left me a lot of things of my father in a bag and I was looking through it thinking I don’t know any relatives of his.

“There were letters and things and it stirred up my interest.

“Although he was in the army he would have no doubt went home to Sittingbourne and spent time with his family.

“The last I saw the Brice family would be from 1943 to circa 1950.

“I do believe there was a half sister who lived with her husband in Cockleshell Walk. I knew them simply as Dolly and Sailor.”
