Children of Ethel Mary EATON and Charles TIMMS :

Obviously the children of this couple, have also now passed away, but it may be possible for you to obtain further leads to their children, by obtaining information from probate files (wills) or from death notices.   (Not sure what part of the country you're in or whether you can easily access records / files ??)

Stanley Gordon TIMMS appears to have been the last of these children to die.

Hi Lu,

Gosh I don't know what to say.  The information you have found in a short time is amazing!!!!!!!

Re you first post, I discovered today the information I had about Mary Eaton was not correct,  it was in fact her sister Emma Maud that was nee Ford formerly Hart.  She also married a Henry Eaton in 1909, she was previously married to William Hart. 

Through your wonderful help it could be likely I might find a living relative who may have some old family stories that have been passed down.

I cannot thank you enough Lu, and I hope the other lady that has eatons in her family has seen your posts too.

So grateful   
Leandra

 Hi Leandra and Lu ... vulcaniser    perhaps  mare


ps googled valconiser ... came up with polisher which seems to be piece of equipment not person 

[Lucy2]

There you go Leandra   ... looks like our "mare" is onto it !

Cheers Mare   

["Valconister"  ... mmm ... my first thought had been "something to do with tyres  ... rubber    Vulcaniser certainly seems like a better "title". ]

Hi Mare and Lu,

That certanily makes more sense.

Another case of bad transcribing

Thanks to you both
