Kirkley - George David DURRANT

[mlawrence]

I am trying to find information on my birth father, George David Durrant born Jan. 20, 1922.  Married my mother, Winifred Edith Dawson on November 20, 1943 in the Kirkley Parish Church.  Served in the Royal Navy during WWII.  Father was Percival Augustus Durrant who was a Royal Navy Skipper.  I can't find any record of my father after the marriage to my mother and she left him and the country before I was born.   There is another name on the marriage certificate of George Isaac Durrant as a witness to the marriage.   Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks.

There are three possible Betty Durrant deaths in Norwich district

Thanks Suffolk*Sue

I hadn't been able to find those records so far.
He did remarry and I believe that the lady in question died a few years ago whiuch makes(2006) a likely candidate.

Thanks for your interest

I've unlocked this post because someone has some information that may be useful to you.  It would probably be best if it was passed on by Personal Message but you need to make one more post so that you can access the system.

You could just reply to this thread.

Hello,

I was just added to this thread because I am trying to find information on my birth father, George David Durrant.  At this point all I have is a marriage certificate between George and my mother, Edith Winnifred Dawson.  I don't know anything about his life.  Any information and photoswould be greatly appreciated.
