There is a family tree online

LM - have just seen the public tree on Anc*y and there’s a picture of
Wesley Dodd & Mildred Dale nee Dodd and
her father Arthur & mother Sarah Ellen nee Cadman and her
brother Arthur Dodd - he must be the brother mentioned in the obit (Mr A Dodd) posted by Jool

i have found another probate record for a  Reginald Thomas Dale which makes more sense as it has him living in Stoke on Trent where he had managed the Coop's butchers shop. It has him dying on 1st January 1990 having lived at 108 Washerwall Lane, Werrington , Stoke on Trent.

Sadly it doesn't get me any closer to Mildred who had died in 1975!

A Reginald Thomas Dale b 12.12.12 died 1.1.1990 Stoke on Trent Staffs.  No will - administration only

Nora Frances Dale b 1.9.14 died 2003 Stafford

You can find Nora on the 1939 register under Thomason - single

That Reginald Thomas Dale has the wrong date of birth  ??? and it looks as if he was the one that married Nora

Reginald Thomas Dale was born on 12 Aug  1907 in Staffordshire. he married Annie Bettany in October 1927 in Stoke on Trent.

Is that definitely the correct birth for your Reginald Thomas Dale (12 8 1907)? He died in 1991


Reginald Thomas Dale age 83
Born 12 Aug 1907
Registration Date:   May 1991
Registration District:   South Cheshire

Can I thank everybody for their help? You've helped me unearth a whole thread of possibilities including finding the death details of what I think now is the correct Reginald Thomas Dale

I need to go away now and digest all this !

I'm so grateful.

Many thanks,
Martin

Hello again

I have an update.

I've just seen a letter written by Reginald's son Frank in 2003  saying that after his mother Annie died in 1950 he and his father Reg went to live with Mildred( Millie.. Millicent?) in Alsager Cheshire.

Does anyone know if you can access Cheshire voter's roll's on line or any other source of information that would help me?
