Are you related to this person, or are you just researching the man's military history?

 Sydney POINTON and  Florence EUSTON in 1929 at Christ Church, Glodwick

Look on www.lancashirebmd.org.uk Put in Surname Pointon and mothers maiden name Euston, there are two possible births in 1930 and 1948 - hopefully they might still be living so I wont put their names on here.

Hilda  POINTON and  Horace W FINCH in 1930 at Christ Church, Glodwick
Possible daughter born 1933 North Manchester


Lilian E POINTON  and Wilfred WARDLEWORTH  in 1936 at United Methodist Church, Edward Street Werneth Oldham

Looks like one child from this marriage in 1937 and another in 1942
