Many thanks

Did the marriage take place in Suffolk?
Do you know where she was last known to be living?
Thanks

Have you tried looking on any of the recognised sites?

Friendsreunited

www.192.com

BT phone book

Have you looked on here in 'search trees'? She may be a member!

It appears that their children were born in Gloucestershire

It's also where they married.........the district has been wrongly transcribed by Ancestry..........it's Sodbury.........NOT Sudbury.

They have also got the groom's name wrong......his second name has the inital 'L'.........not as they have it 'K'

Have posted a correction

They are on the public ER up to 2007........may simply have opted-out in more recent years

a quick google ( thanks to Flick's keen eye on the marriage details )

it seems likely this is the husband in question ?

http://www.introlocal.co.uk/businesses/bristol/bristol/171380/paul-l-tily---son

contact details are there

also a simple search at BT on line finds the home listing ... you will see it on this page by the initials Flick gave

http://www.thephonebook.bt.com/publisha.content/en/search/residential/search.publisha?Surname=tily&Location=gloucestershire&x=0&y=0

I checked and those details match with Margaret and her husband on the electoral roll to 2007


please post a message to say you have seen this and accessed that information because I would prefer to delete it as leading to personal info

Hi All
Many thanks for you help in locating Margaret, however, can anyone confirm the names of the children if she had any?

Once again Many thanks :-)

Helen, these are living people

the way to find out their children's names is to talk to them surely ?

not talk about them on the internet ...
