Statham
« on: Tuesday 04 August 09 14:59 BST (UK) »
I have managed to research most of my maternal grandmother's family (Kingwell)
I am now trying to research my dad's family (Statham) but i am struggling to find anything which links with my family, My Grandad can't teel me much because he doesn't remember very well so all i have to go by is some names;

My Great Grandparents: Harry Statham + Lily Oakley born abt.1907 possibly in Hartshill

Harry's siblings; Alec, Jack, Victoria and Fred
Lily's Siblings; Flo, Mary, Nelly (died of cancer aged 50), Jim, Fred, Ethel and Dolly

I don't know the dates of birth just the names. Would really appreciate any help :) Thank You

Here's a site to bookmark for you: Staffordshire BMD
www.bmsgh.org/staffsbmd/

you'll find Harry and Lilian's marriage in 1922.

If you order the cert, it will show their father's names and ages.

 :)

Do you when both Harry and Lilian died? If we find their death reference it should show their ages
