Yes I see what you mean....I found a possible marriage John H Wells and Minnie B Brennan in Newark Oct 1946 3c/642. Minnie having been 76 at her death puts her birth at around 1925. I could not find a birth for her under Brennan and 2 for Boyd but both 1922. The only Byron Wells are all too young to be Minnies child being born 1979.There is one born 1930 but Minnie was only 5 then.
The telephone number of the funeral director is on the announcement, I would be cheeky and ring and ask, it does say any inquiries.... I contacted a second cousin through a death announcement a few years ago. I went to the memorial service and met a lot of lovely distant family. Best of luck

hi larkspur,
again many thanks for taking the time to have a look for me.
that marriage in 1946 is correct minnie boyd allen born 1924 in scotland married a thomas brennan who died in 1946 at war she then married john henry wells a few months later.minnie and thomas had 1 child thomas and they lived in the nottighamshire area but i have not been able to trace this thomas from this time.
the only thing that mite have been is that thomas last name was changed to wells on his mothers marriage.
i found a marriage that would fit of a thomas wells on oct 1963 to a brenda baumber the age would fit but can not get any where on this thomas.
many thanks again
just to keep you in the picture of the family i am trying to get.
so i don't know who this byron belongs to.

"zander" won't be able to send you a message until such time as you have made a second post. He/she was last on Dec 2017, so hopefully you will get a reply/message soon.
Just reply with an "Ok" or something to activate your email privileges.
