Greetings! I am delving deeper into my Grandfather's side of the tree as I'm finding the common names and lack of middle names hard to research. He spent a long time looking into records and recalling memories to write somewhat of an autobiography, which he gave to me completed in 2019/2020. Unfortunately most of the dates in this book are assumptions as he does not remember the exact years of various events (he permanently left England over 50 years ago) and so I am having a mission finding basically anything about his paternal family.
One side I am stuck on is "Aunty Mary": Mary married Joseph Davison - I have found their marriage record: Mary Jane Robinson, daughter of Robert (which my grandfather remembers), married Joseph Davison in March 1939 (cannot find them in the 1939 register, though). Their estimated birth years on FamilySearch are 1917, but Mary was born in Q3 1916 as the MMN (McPherson) on FreeBMD matches. My grandfather remembers that they had a son a year later - he may be still alive as far as I know so will not divulge more details. He also claims that Mary married after Joseph, but does not know names or dates, and assumes she died around 1994 (although other assumed dates have been incorrect).
Joseph's father on his marriage record is listed as 'Joseph Davison', and my grandfather believes Joseph (Jr.) died in 1974. My grandfather says that he had a brother named 'Harry', who married a 'Molly' and lived next door to my grandfather growing up as he was friends with their (now late) son. I haven't been able to find any details on Harry, Molly, or anything like a common MMN on FreeBMD - but my grandparents are still in contact with Harry's son's wife so will try see if she remembers anything.
Would greatly appreciate any help/findings from you wonderful legends!
Thank you!
