Hi all. have been challenged by my sister to find a link between her mother in-law Rita Stretton b.1938 and Raymond Stretton b.1917.Rita`s family runs Ernest b.1911, William b.1915,William b.1834,Joseph b.1811. I have had a good look at ancestry but can't see any connection, was hoping that perhaps someone on hear with a closer tie to Leicester information and with more skill than I possess might be able to help us out and find a link.
many thanks in advance
Ian

First if anyone mentioned is still alive you need to remove their names.
Looks like Corrine's father was Raymond
-
Sorry. Have removed live peoples names
-
Mil’s parents were Ernest Walter Stretton & Kathleen M Minard m 1933
Raymonds were Herbert Stretton & Annie Bond m 1915
It would help if you told us why you think there could be a connection?
-
Ernest was b 1911 mmn was Dalby
Herbert possibly born 1891 died 1931 - he had 2 other children apart from Raymond. Leonard 1920 & Gordon 1925

Hi Carole. Thank you for replying. I think it is more of a hope by my sister as she is a godmother to a living Stretton who has very little contact with her family ( not even knowing where her father now lives) and only just made the connection with the surnames and believe both families have a connection to the same area of Leicester
-
Both the 1911 census & the 1939 register have over 300 entries in Leics for the surname Stretton so not an uncommon surname.
Without more info - it’s difficult to establish any connection.
-
I did think it was a long shot but thanks for looking

You have a typo in your request Ernest 1911, William 1915 ? then William 1834.
William 1915 cannot be the father of Ernest 1911
