HELP!!! ???
I can not find any information on Jack Crutchley.
Jack married my great gran mother Lillian Johnson (b.1914 Blackhall, Easington, Co. Durham), nee Thompson before her first marriage to Thomas Johnson in 1930, Blackhall, Durham. I do not know what happened to Tommy after their divorce either.
I am told that Jack and Lillian were in their 60's when they get married so, that would make it the late 1960's or early 70's. My father was young but he tells me that they married in Blackhall, County Durham.
I do know that Jack spent some time in a P.O.W camp but, I do not know which armed service he was in or anything else.
Jack and Lillian moved to the Coventry area in the 70's.
Jack past away in the late 1970's or early 80's, and I think he may have lived in BEDWORTH nr. Coventry area at that time. His ashes were taken back up north.
This branch of my family tree is a very sticky sticking point for me. So, if you can help me with Jack, Tommy, or Lillian get unstuck, I would greatly appreciate it.
Many thanks,
Jono

Hi,
Could Jack have been a derirative of John?
I have checked the actual death records from 1978 to 1883 and could only find the following;
Death JFM 1981 Nuneaton 31 0100
John George Crutchley born 24 October 1905
Nuneaton is right next to Coventry.
There dont seem to be any suitable deaths in the 1884 onwards.
I can look for other approx. dates if it may help.
Best Wishes
Cathy
Some data removed, because of still-living people.

Hi Paul
I can't trace a record of a Jack Crutchley marriage in county Durham between 1960 and 1979 (using http://www.durham.gov.uk/gro/newgro.nsf/search?open&C0933012070107012007$)

Hi Paul
I know this is long ago and you've probably solved this issue but now I have it.
My interest is in Lilian's son Joseph Lester Johnson who was the 2nd husband of Lilian McGoldrick who was initially married to my cousin Gordon Sayer.
Interested to know if Joseph had any sublings and given he was only in his 30's when he married Lilian Sayer nee McGoldrick did they have any children.
I know Jack Crutchley married Lilian Johnson nee Thompson 22 Dec 1975 in Nuneaton
Cheers

For anyone else reading this thread 'Jack' was actually John George Crutchley, brn 24/10/1905, died Mar1981 Nuneaton.
He did indeed marry Lillian in 1975 - she had already changed her surname to Crutchley.
