Just so happens I'm planning to go to the archives tomorrow, Jay, so I'll have a look, although the last time I was there the books for 1944 and 1945 were temporarily unavailable.

Oh that's great Kite, thanks :)

Margaret Hannah & Jane Elizabeth were both elderly spinsters so i'm hoping they left very detailed wills!

Thanks again

Thanks Kite thats great :D:D

I've got an Alberta Banner Thompson in the tree but not married her off yet so that's that done!

Also now I know Edward was alive in 1943 that will help find his death.

Thanks again :)
