I AM trying to trace my cousin Lucy Isherwood, who was born in Blackburn.

Her parents were Joseph Isherwood, who was killed in the RAF in 1943 and Edith (nee Platt). Edith later married an American serviceman named Ken and they went to the States after the war.

Any clue, however small would be welcome.
