John Thomas Driver
« on: Thursday 11 March 10 14:52 GMT (UK) »
Hello all,

Can anyone help me out?

I am looking for the parents of John Thomas Driver, born September, 1920, in Bury, Lancashire
Also need to find the parents of Ethel Duckworth, also born Bury in July 1921

I would appreciate any help I can get in tracing their parent's!

Kind regards, Kathy

Hi

If you look at freebmd a put into the births search Surname Driver, spouses surname Williams it will bring up quite a few children bn Blackburn district possibly siblings.

Another web site worth looking at is
http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/cgi/marrind.cgi?county=lancashire

this gives a possible marriage in 1913
DRIVER William
WILLIAMS Beatrice Ann
at  St Bartholomew Blackburn Reference CE20/1/36

The same can be done with Ellen Duckworth 

However the only sure way you have the correct parents is by buying the birth certificates.

Hi Rosie,

Thank you for your help, you have just confirmed what I had previously found.  It's nice to know that I haven't lost my marbles yet and I have you to thank for that!

Kind regards, Kathy
