Not sure if this helps at all but a FindMyPast search of Bentley births with the mother's maiden name as W* between 1950 and 1960 shows two girls - one in 1951 and the other in 1955. The second one is a GRO Army Birth record.

Mothers maiden name is Washington. Confirmed from birth certificate.

I can only find one daughter!

What is an FindMyPast search

www.FindMyPast.co.uk  - it is a subscription site and does not allow info from its site to be posted.  You can also buy credits rather than an annual sub

Have you checked the marriage found in 1943 also in Southport?

Have you then checked freebmd for Bentley births with that mothers maiden name?

The 1943 marriage can be found on www.lancashirebmd.org.uk and was at St Philip & St Paul in Southport

The 1950 marriage can also be found on the same site but was a registry office wedding



I got the married certifcate for a 1950 marriage... It confirms the K lady! WOOHOO! I know its Grandad as he put his service number in his job description and his address was his mums at the time. :-)

I got a little surprise with it though, in Grandads "condition" it said he was divorced and gave the ex's name. This was the 1943 marriage!!

He was married 3 times. I am not sure if my grandma knows so I am not going to say anything.

I now have the maiden name of wife from 1950  marriage (Washington) and I can only confirm 1 daughter, I cant find another and I know there were 2.

Stuck again!  ???

Hi Sonstar

Was just going thru my list of updates topics...and realised your update  message of August relates back to where we left off in 2008!

I'm glad you were able to re'unite with kiwi family  - I do so  hope one of the visits was made before your Grandad passed away. But if not, (or even if so!) I'm sure he was really pleased  that you were able to find them  ;D

Sorry to hear the news, RIP Grandad.

Kind regards
AMBLY

Thanks Ambly!

He came over when I was pregnant with my son, so 3 years ago pretty much to the month. He spent time with Grandad and they caught up - it was great. I am so so glad that they had that opportunity. Its funny he looks a lot like Grandad, you would think they were father and son not uncle and nephew.

Alec is coming back to see us all in a few weeks, we are hoping to have some happier times before they jet back to NZ.

I really appreciate all of the help you gave us when I was searching. It means the world to me and I know my Grandad was grateful too. x

I have my Grandad's service record from his time in the RAF, I was hoping it would shed some light on his previous life. He was married before my grandma and had 2 children, the details have been crossed out in the record I have so I cannot see - is there any way I can retrieve this information? I have all details except that :-( please help!

What is an FindMyPast search? Sorry for my ignorance.

Also how do i get information on an GRO Army birth? Grandad was in the RAF though not the army.
