Hi All

This is Andrea, im Gertrudes grandaughter! Daughter of Lionel J Tennant. Im trying to find more info about her as she died when i was young, i think the info you have (that maybe flakey) is the info i was peicing together many years ago whewn i started this, i have taken it up again!

First! I had, but now cant find, my mothers and father marraige cert, this is where i got the info about jobs places etc, and im sure i retrieved from this that Gertrude was born in durham? no one really knows that much about her, i wish i could find this darm certificate as i have durham and everyone else has scotland. I have never once heard scotland talked about in the family, but do recall her being from up north west. Then again we had no idea either that she had so many eligit children either! shocker!

Secondly im looking for death certificate of her son (my dad) Lionel Jt Tennant known as Trevor my mum divorced him when i was born and me and my brothers would like to find out what happened to him, we THINK he died in germany, but it could be Amsterdam, circa 1980

Lastly since this thread was started a year back can any of the original posters help me shed some light please as im desperate to peice together this tree - and finally find more about my dad resting place.

Thank you

Just a bit of facts about Gertrudes sons,  after the two illegitimate boys, she met Samuel had lionel in 1928, then twins in 1934 Warren and Edward,( warren died by committing suicide in 1980, Edward died old age in 2003) she then had gilroy Charles. I remember Warrens death I was 8 it was a shock. My mum spoke fondly of all my dads brothers she also was deeply fond of her mother in law Gertrude who loved her grandchildren and liked to spoil us. She also warned my mum against marrying my dad!!!

Don't know if anyone is still working on this...ANDREA (SacredG) in particular...
To be honest I had lost the link to this website and thread....I only just found it again.
I've recently started looking into the Biltons again for my father-in-law and have found a wealth of information...and even one of his relatives on Facebook!!! Please, please get in touch!!
