Thanks for all the research, I've written it all down and I'll pass it on. I was originally supposed to be finding out if she had any relatives still alive, so now I've got some names of siblings, aunts and uncles I'll see if I can find any.

I'm pleased I've found out where the surname came from, it's interesting she changed it.

Her parents did divorce:

Note that the husband initiated the divorce proceedings and the "co-respondent" named looks to be the same man that Winifred married in 1937.

Hi Katie

I am the daughter of Christopher WG Foxton - brother to your Wendy (Winifred).  I have been trying to find her and it is sad I am too late.  However I am interested to know if she had any children with her partner?  Do I have any living relatives?

I have only just joined Roots so cannot PM you yet.
