Hi, David,

Hope this is of some help.

In 1945 a William R Tilt married an Elsie Stephenson (nee Tyson) in Sunderland and they had two children, both boys:

Joseph Tilt born Q1 1946 in Sunderland Reg District (mothers maiden name=Tyson)
Gordon P Tilt born Q2 1949 Sunderland Reg District (mothers maiden name=Tyson)

Joseph and Gordon births are both listed in the GRO indexes and both are now deceased.

If you can connect with these, will you please PM me.

Regards,

Jim

Hi Jim
Yes I would be happy to discuss Gordon. I have tried to PM you but for some reason am being blocked. I will try again from home ( am at work now) but meanwhile hope you get this. How sad that his brother also died young.
I often think of Gordon.
