Title: Statham
Post by: Becca S on Tuesday 04 August 09 14:59 BST (UK)
I have managed to research most of my maternal grandmother's family (Kingwell)
I am now trying to research my dad's family (Statham) but i am struggling to find anything which links with my family, My Grandad can't teel me much because he doesn't remember very well so all i have to go by is some names;

My Great Grandparents: Harry Statham + Lily Oakley born abt.1907 possibly in Hartshill

Harry's siblings; Alec, Jack, Victoria and Fred
Lily's Siblings; Flo, Mary, Nelly (died of cancer aged 50), Jim, Fred, Ethel and Dolly

I don't know the dates of birth just the names. Would really appreciate any help :) Thank You

Here's a site to bookmark for you: Staffordshire BMD
www.bmsgh.org/staffsbmd/

you'll find Harry and Lilian's marriage in 1922.

If you order the cert, it will show their father's names and ages.

 :)

Do you when both Harry and Lilian died? If we find their death reference it should show their ages

Could start with the marriage?

Harry Statham and Lilian Oakley December 1922 Stoke upon Trent 6b 199

Should give fathers names and occupations...
