Find Ancestors

One of the female names will be Eric's wife. The other female married James Keith. You'd have to buy the cert to find out which was which.


I don't know if this is your Leonard or not, but will post it in case:


EDIT:
Probably not your Leonard. Cecil was Eric & Gwendoline's father - see next post.

That's a good find ArgyllGran.

We now know which of the males was Gwendoline's husband.

Kath. x

Oh how sad :( poor little fella.

I don't know, it could be him.

What I do know about him is - He was born in East Ham in London and was a Dock Clerk in London when he was a teenager, so I suppose he could have joined the marines as he would have been 19 when the first world war broke out.

I'm not sure if Leonards middle name was Churchman, unusual I know.

The other thing I have just seen on the will is that Gwendoline's married name was 'Wright'

Their daughter

Thank you, it really strange to see that, knowing I have a connection to them.

You wondered about possible living relatives.

It seems that Gwendoline and Jack Wright had two children.
A son in 1953, and a daughter in 1956.

As they're probably alive, I'll PM you their birth details, rather than post them here.
