I'm trying to find any info on my grandad JOHN KENNETH FITTON, he was born on 7th October 1910 in Manchester. He died on 8th June 1987 in Droylsden Manchester. He owned a garage on Market St Droylsden next to the Football Ground. He married a DORIS WILD. I'm interested in any info on where he was born, his parents & their dates of birth, marriage & deaths also where they were born & bred & also died. I hope someone can help as I am stuck with my dads side of my tree. Thanks Paula

What is the point of 'bumping' this thread?
What else do you want?
Have you done ANY research yourself since 2009?

1911
Name: John Kennth Fitton Age in 1911: 6/12 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1910 Relation to Head: Son Gender: Male Civil parish: South Manchester County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street Address: 52 Kenyon St Alley Hey Gorton Registration district: Chorlton Registration District Number: 464 Sub-registration district: Ardwick ED, institution, or vessel: 98 Piece: 23799 Household Members: Name Age John Edward Fitton 35 Tailor's Presser, b. Rochdale Ada Fitton 33 b. Bradford John Kennth Fitton 6/12 Married 9 years, 2 children born, 1 living and 1 had died.
So the marriage posted looks to be correct.
Have you tried looking on Freebmd for possible deaths for John Edward and Ada?
As Reggie says, have you done any further research on this family? There is not point to people searching for information that you have probably found since your first post.
Can you be more specific please on what information you are now seeking? Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the info. I'm looking into a possibility that I maybe related to Mary Fitton, the Dark Lady who was One of Shakespeare's Sonnets. I don't have anybody to ask about this as my dad & his parents are no longer with us. The only remaining members left are my dads sisters & his brother. The eldest is to ill to ask & the others are to young to know as I've already tried & they don't know anything. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you Paula

Paula, I'd be inclined to buy John Edward and Ada's marriage certificate to be 100% sure who his father was, you can then work back with more confidence.
The census posted with Richard and Elizabeth as parents do look strong possibilities but it's up to you whether you want to take that chance.
If they are the correct parents then I think this may be John Edward's baptism:
Manchester, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1915
Name: John Edward Fitton Baptism Date: 25 Dec 1875 Parish: Rochdale, St Chad Parish as it Appears: Rochdale Father's Name: Richard Fitton - Cut Looker Mother's name: Elizabeth Fitton Reference Number: L48/1/3/13 Item Number: 3 Archive Roll: 646
They lived Crawford Street.
Baptised the same day was a sibling Mary Ellen.

Hi Marie, I've only got as far back as Richard & Elizabeth. I just don't know much about the Fitton side at all. I've even asked my mum but she doesn't even know anything :( All I know about my grandad, John Kenneth Fitton is what I put in the original post. I don't even know when he had the garage on Market Street, Droylsden. So as you can see I haven't much to work with at all I'm afraid. :( :( :(

Hello again Paula - this is where it may be necessary to buy some certificates.
Do you know if John Edward and Ada had any more children after John Kenneth? If so you can look their births up on FreeBMD http://www.freebmd.org.uk - the mother's maiden name is shown post 1911 and would help verify the 1902 marriage.

Hi Marie, As far as I'm aware John Kenneth was an only child but I can ask my aunt who might know. I'll have to have a look at that thanks
