What connection are you to him, and is he still alive?

Thank-you

If Sipson is Staines then he has a middle name:

Fred the poster has the surname Gray. Does this mean you are trying to make contact with any relatives?

Do you have siblings/children you've lost contact with, or were you looking for cousins etc?

Pm from poster saying his name is Fred Gray so is his father

Could you reply here rather than private message Fred

So presumably these are the parents

Marriages Dec 1937
Gray Fred Thorpe Staines 3a 110
Thorpe Annie Gray Staines 3a 110

The marriage certificate might be needed with such relatively common names, unless Frederick has lots of information.

pm received, and have also asked Fred to return.

Information received:


'We are interested in finding out more details about ancestors and if I have family I don't know about. There is a chance I have relatives in Australia.

My name is Fred, my sisters are Doris and Linda, my brothers Keith and Alick

Dad had brothers Bill or William, George, John killed in the war.

On the Thorpe side .
My mothers name was Annie Thorpe, thinking back to when I was young, I remember an Albert, Mary, Nellie, from Little Kyneton Kyneton Warwick shire

From my parents marriage certificate I know they were married on the 20th November 1937.
Annie's father was Ernest, a farm labourer,
My Father Fred's father was Alfred Market gardiner. they lived in Sipson Harmondsworth Middlesex.

My uncle Bill had one son Bill we know is deceased, and a daughter Eileen Married to Don Brown and they had two sons.Don Brown is deceased and as far as we know Eileen is still alive

Fred and Annie had three other children that did not survive, Rita Jimmy and Patricia, I know they were buried in Harmondsworth cemetery '


So it would help in finding ancestors if we could have birth dates for Fred and Annie, and also, if known, approximate birth years for Alfred and Ernest, and any knowledge of their wives.

What ages are listed on the marriage certificate?

Do any of your siblings remember when you celebrated your parents' birthdays?

Presumably one of then registered their deaths and gave dates of births?
