Hello all,
Can anyone help me out?
I am looking for the parents of John Thomas Driver, born September, 1920, in Bury, Lancashire
Also need to find the parents of Ethel Duckworth, also born Bury in July 1921
I would appreciate any help I can get in tracing their parent's!
Kind regards, Kathy

Hi
If you look at freebmd a put into the births search Surname Driver, spouses surname Williams it will bring up quite a few children bn Blackburn district possibly siblings.
Another web site worth looking at is
http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/cgi/marrind.cgi?county=lancashire
this gives a possible marriage in 1913
DRIVER William
WILLIAMS Beatrice Ann
at St Bartholomew Blackburn Reference CE20/1/36
The same can be done with Ellen Duckworth
However the only sure way you have the correct parents is by buying the birth certificates.
