Looks like Alan E and John A were twins ( their births are recorded with mother's maiden name as Wrighton)

Hi, this is a long shot but...you don't have a Joan May Wrightson in any of your lists do you? Joan was born in 1921 (I don't know her parent's names), I presume she lived in the Darlington area. She married Norman Hiscock in 1943 and had three sons - John, Alan and Terry. Joan died in 1997.

Any information would be greatly appreciated - essentially I'm trying to contact her sons with news of a relative they may not know about.

Many thanks
Jo
