I would recommend you get one or both of the death certs to see who the informant was It should give their address at the time plus if Barbara wasan informant it will give her surname and address at the time

Buy the certs from

www.gro.gov.uk cost £9.25 using the GRO refs as I posted above

you have to register on the site ,free , then specify the type of cert wanted ie death cert

Click the box that asks if the GRO ref is known then fill in the boxes asking for the ref on the relevant order page .

put in the name as listed on the ref not what you think any second name may be .

There were only three children from your grandparents' marriage, and those were the ones you named.

what makes you think there were two other boys?

When was the divorce?

Ricochet

Ricochet Report 7 Jul 2014 16:29

There are a couple of possible marriages for Brian on freebmd, but that is only if he married in Bradford

Do you know Paul's exact DOB? (don't post it on here)

Ricochet

Ricochet Report 7 Jul 2014 16:18

Well. It looks like barbara married Maurice Downer

They have one daughter kim

Don't want to put living persons info on here as they may have no connection to the original enquiry and. Two it's an invasion of peoples privacy to post their info on genes which is an open forum so can be picked up by anyone doing a Google

FreeBMD is a free site that lists births ,marriages and deaths for England and Wales from the start of official registration in sept quarter of 1837

It's a very easy site to use

If you select births Surname Matthews mothers maiden name Bee from 1930. then you will find the births reg Bradford
If you are looking for births though pre 1875 you may not find what you are looking for as before 1875 there was no legal requirement to register a birth . After 1875 a birth had to be reg within 6 weeks otherwise a fine was imposed for non or Kate registration


Who are the hatton family as there only the one sister ie Barbara A Matthews

Thank you Shirley

What is the surname of Barbara A , I can only find a cousin under the name of Downer , but iv got three other cousins that I thought were under Hatton but I cant find them, also what is FreeBMD?

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 7 Jul 2014 14:07

Sister Barbara A could have married in 1958

Look on FreeBMD for the details
