actually ArgyllGran 'calculated relationship' means that the parent was entered on the child's page as their parent, and the findagrave website then creates the mirror entry on the parent's page - or vice versa

it is the website system that does the 'calculation'

Olive's page says
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=137606643

Family links:
Parents:
Thomas Bernard Burton (1880 - 1967)
Ellen Carson Burton (1878 - 1950)
Sibling:
Olive Burton Pykett (1904 - 1991)
(for some reason the site always lists the person as their own sibling)
Joyce Burton Clayton (1909 - 1994)*
*Calculated relationship

So the relationship between Olive and Joyce has been calculated from the fact that they both show Thomas and Ellen as parents.

Thomas http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=137341542
Ellen http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=137386015
Joyce http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=137609102


unfortunately there are no photos of the graves, which could be the source of the info if the stone says "daughter of"

the person who created and managed the memorial page has 225 memorials created and managed, so might or might not be family, but more likely not maybe

there are no other Burtons, Claytons or Pyketts in their list of memorials managed, so it seems most likely that the info did come from the grave marker

Thank you all so much for what you have found. My friend who I have been trying to help will be delighted with the info I can now pass on from you.

Having read his will it confirmed for her that he re-married but it will be nice for her to find out that he was buried with his first wife.

JoonieCloonie thank you for helping me to understand how to read the 1939 Register better, I'm sure you are correct that Tom was the first one listed. My friend may well now try and have the record opened. The only closed record I knew would have been Kathleen's daughter Rosemary.

Chrissie- who did he remarry?

Did he marry before or after Nellie's death?

I believe the marriage ArgyllGran found is the correct one. In his will it mentioned his wife Alice Ann. Looks like she re-married quite soon after losing her previous husband and died only a year after Thomas.
