Hello Robin, I think if someone was granted probate they'd have to be available to undertake that responsibility? |

Thanks for that MarieCeleste......may narrow down to them emigrating after 1957 as that seems only answer........need a flash of inspiration from somewhere |

Sorry MarieCeleste missed of George StanleyRichardson birth...according to marriage certificate he seemed to be born in 1916?......do not know where,possible Grantham if local lad who joined the RAF or whether Margaret met him at a dance/socially and he was from another part of the country. |

If you search FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl there is the possibility of a son born Scarborough 1945 (won't post details as he may likely still be alive). |

Robin, who were the witnesses at the 1939 marriage, and what was the father Robert's occupation? |

I have spoken with National Archives for deaths after 2005 and that did not show up either of them . |

Robin, why can't you order the birth certificate to give you something to work from? |

Your right re Margaret's mother she was listed a Saweden...I concluded Margarets birth 1918 after noting that parents of which Maude [ my Gt Aunt ] gave Margaret the Snowden name as a middle name . Yes getting actual birth date could help. |
