From the GRO, it looks like the marriage was childless using Wrighton & Knighton

According to the website http://www.mattishall-village.co.uk/Norman_Wrighton-1.htmNorman and Winifred did not have children. Winifred never remarried. Her death recorded at Norwich. Following her death 8 December 1969 her body was removed from Tavisham and taken to the Chapel of Rest of Arthur Horne & Son Norfolk House, Dereham Road, Mattishall. Then laid to rest St Peters Churchyard
Mattishall burgh, her ancestral home.

Sandra This is my (Aunt Kitty) Katherine Littlejohns, My Mother, Patricia Margaret Littlejohns Blair
is her sister. My Grandfather was Claude Septimus Litteljohns. many of the names I did hear through my mother who along with her sister were placed in an orphanage having lost everything during the war. Claude I see died at a very young age. Aunt Ivy, Aunt Winnie, Uncle Roland Wrighton she mentioned them as well. I am new to this site. I live in the states and often think of my mothers family and wonder and wish I could have known them as she did as well.
My mother was born March 17, 1915 London. she mentioned a brother Gilbert as well.
best, B.Blair Barnes :)
