George and Alice were married in 1940 and lived in Sears Street, Camberwell. They were both widows and Alice had previously been married to Harry Wright, who died in 1926. Her marriage had produced 3 children (Albert Painter born 1919, died?, Doris Ethel Painter born 1921 died? and Rose Painter born 1925, died 2001.

George and Alice had a son, George Turner born 1931 died 1996 (my father), but their relationship did not last and they allegedly separated. My dad never saw his dad again. Alice died in Camberwell in 1957 aged 68.

I never met any of my father's side of the family. Albert married and moved to Essex. Rose married and divorced (John Wornast)and worked for London Transport and later at the Home Office. She lived all her life in Peckham and died in 2001. Doris Ethel married Fred Harris and they moved to Walthamstow. They had a son Michael (he had special needs). All family members are deceased and as such I have no other information about how I can further my search.

Alice appears to have been born in the London area in 1888/89 and lived there all her life. George is an unknown quantity as I have no information except that contained on his marriage certificate to Alice which does not give a date of birth or area of birth. Camberwell County Council have no employment record of him. The housing authority have no information either as their property was privately rented.

I would be most grateful if anyone out there has information about the family, especially George and Alice, as I seem to be stuck for where to look next.

Thanx
