(edit - crossed in the post with Mike, I will leave this here anyway)


Brenda if you are looking for Frederick George Preson why did you say you were looking for Herbert Preston? :-S

if Herbert was born in 1915 how on earth could he have had a son born 1921?

Frederick George Preston born 1921 was a brother of Herbert.

their parents were Herbert Preston and Daisy Story

this is Frederick's death

Name: Frederick George Preston
Birth Date: 6 Oct 1921
Date of Registration: Jul 1986
Age at Death: 64
Registration district: Lambeth
Inferred County: London
Volume: 14
Page: 324

his marriage info was posted above ... he probably married Ellen Carter in 1941

if you do the simple search at freebmd

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

for
births
surname Preston
mother Carter
1941 to 1955

they seem to have had several children in Camberwell (you can tell from the name of the first child, born in 1946)

we can't put their details here because they are living people but you can easily find the names there

if it is those children you want to contact, we could try to help


maybe if you made it clear exactly what/who you are looking for, someone could help

Renee appears not to have married, and if that's the case, she was on the ER 2002-2007

Also, another possible sister born in 1935.

Look at freebmd and get the details.............

'last known to have lived in flats at east Street Walworth SE17'

... when would that have been ??

do you know whether he was married?

it could help if you explain your connection with him, whether you knew his family, etc.
