Coming back to this, with new information (last year was a write off due to a bereavement, health issues, etc)....

So, George Mann (Marjorie I have information there) - I've finally seen certificates and records, not seen since the mid-nineties (in back of my aunt's wardrobe, bless her....   

Born 09/09/1922 (place unknown)
Married 31/08/1946 (Durham)
Died 23/11/1962 (Ashford, Surrey) they lived in Ambrosden, Bicester, at least 1956-62

Military - RAOC #14311890, WWII

His father's name was James; so, looking for a place of birth, and anything to kick on further from there .....

If that is the correct birth date for George

MANN, GEORGE       mmn APPLEBY 
GRO Reference: 1922  D Quarter in CHESTER LE STREET  Volume 10A  Page 930

He appears in the 1939 war register with that dob and parents James & Jane.

Do/does the names  Winifred, Doris, Thomas being possible siblings to George.

John

[Peter78]

Dates are correct as per his service record, and the marriage and death certificate (we don't have birth), anything beyond that, couldn't say

His father's name was James (as per marriage cert), a bricklayer at time of George/Marjorie wedding in 1946

[softly softly]

How about siblings, anything.

John

[Peter78]

If she became a Bell, then Doris is possible 

Death cert. for George has a D. Bell, sister, of Londonderry Avenue, Durham. as the informant....

(Just spoke to my dad and his sister and I know more than they do, oooops)...

[softly softly]

For the back burner at present. Believe this to be George's parents. They married dq 1921 chester le Street.

their birth's

The 1921 census finds both parties living in Witton Gilbert, Chester le Street.

1939 war register finds George with dob 9.9.1922 with James dob 29.6.1900 and Jane H(Harriett) dob 29.6.1906.

James Mann married Jane H Williams jq 1932 Chester le Street.

WILLIAMS, JANE  HARRIETT     mmn BIRD 
GRO Reference: 1906  D Quarter in KINGSTON  Volume 02A  Page 390

Jane Harriet Mann died with same dob 1984 Merton Surrey.

At some point I believe James and Elsie parted company between 1921-1939

John

[Peter78]

Yes, I believe there's a divorce and a remarriage around that period

For Elsie, that name has continued in the family, as has George for that matter
