Anita Report 10 Apr 2015 17:49

hi could anyone help me please, i am looking for the parents of Dora May Field . Dora married Arthur John Stratton in 1938 in Bedfordshire or Hertfordshire. dora was born in 1914 in Biggleswade , but i can not find her parents they lived in Biggleswade too. We think her fathers name was Henry (Harry) Field and her mother , well only know that her surname was Day. She had a brother Charles henry died young . i have found record transcription of marriage and birth but no other family of hers. i wondered if anyone knew them or could help find any information. i would be most grateful. thank you Anita.

You need to buy Dora's birth certificate to find her parents full names
