Was his mother's maiden name Riley? I can't find a marriage for a Leonard to a May Riley.

Looks like he married in 1957.

Could you say how you are related to him and when you last had contact?

Do you have any further information about May and Leonard?

Thanks.

1. Yes - the maiden name of his mother was Riley.
2. I'd like to know more about the suggested marriage in 1957.
3. May was born 1895 & died 1982. Len was a builder and I believe he also died in 1982. May had a son from a previous marriage - Charles Albert Cook born 1927.
I have never had contact with either Charles or Gordon. I am a distant cousin to Gordon.

Do you have either of the death certificates of May or Leonard to know the names of the informants - who may be related? Ideally Gordon's wife, but otherwise address details may be useful.

Many thanks for the help of everyone. The house sale details could be productive. The death of May Jackson was reported by a Charles Cook (also now deceased)
