My great grandma Gladys McVety married a William Peacock, they had a child, Derek (my grandad), but Gladys died around 1941 either in a bomb attack on Drolysden, or from something else, William may have died in the bomb too if that's the case, but my grandad thinks differently, if anyone has any information on their marriage, or on their deaths, please let me know, thanks x

JaneyCanuck, thank you for the information, but i should point out, i am returning to respond to replies, but i only posted these this afternoon, and have been working until now, so i haven't been able to reply to them straight away. thanks to everyone else too, i thought i'd hit a dead end with this :) xx

"After posting a question, please stay on the boards for a while as replies are very quick. You may be needed to answer questions and give feedback to the replies given."

The idea is to post a question at a time when one is free to read and respond to replies.

yes, i understand the idea behind it, but the replies on this post are consecutive hours or there abouts, and i can't stay on for that long, but if it makes you feel better, i'll remember that for future reference, thank you :) xx
