Find Ancestors

Can somebody help me in searching for the following:

Vera Potts born 1918 married Frederick Morton in 1940, and died in 1990.
Vera may have a sister called Rita, but I don't know of any other siblings, etc.
Cramlington area?
I would like to know more?

Frederick Corbett Morton born 1913 and died 1965.
I know of Frederick having 2 brothers: Kenneth and Gordon, Kenneth was from North Shields and died in 2007, his wife Millie a year later. Gordon, I know nothing about.

Frederick's mam & dad was Agnes Wright and Jack Morton.
Jack was a Horse Groomer in the army.
Agnes brother Captain Wright was in the Queen's Guards in Buckingham Palace during Queen Victoria's reign, again not sure of the dates.

Which is your Vera ?

Hello Barbara, I think the only way you're going to be sure that you have the right family is to buy Agnes & John's marriage certificate to get her father's name.

I am trying not to purchase a marriage certificate, hence the money issue, which is why I am using this facilities to my best advantage.

Purchasing certificates is the best way to be sure you are following the correct people.
It could cost you dearly if you don't !

It is a costly job when you are not working.
I am trying to get as much information as possible before I do so, but I need to be in work before that can happen.
