Find Ancestors

So sorry Reggie. I should have gone to SpecSavers!

Thanks and regards

Jennifer

So were all looking for the wrong surname!

SUCCESS!! I have just had a telephone conversation with Dierdre Becker nee Layton. It was a mind blowing conversation. Her brother Tony Layton died aged 41 as did their mother Ethel.

Thanks everybody for putting me on the right track.
Jennifer :-D

Also you say the married name is Beaker??? Becker on find my past and ancestry

I know that poor Fred only had one arm due to a pre war accident. Maybe I'll have another shot at finding Dierdre's brother Tony (1933). Thanks everybody

Thanks for that. Yes it looks like poor Fred survived Ethel by a good few years. So he was already dead before Dierdre got married! So with both parents gone emigration looks even more likely?
Jennifer

never assume they didnt move around they often went to live with rellies who would have them!

Oh dear - That looks as if Ethel died an early death in Edmonton. Maybe that is an area to concentrate on to see whether Fred remarried. I much appreciate your help.

Thanks for replying. I have done tree searches a few times over the past couple of years and only one lead which did not come to anything. I don't have death certs for the parents yet. Maybe the Lautier address was Dierdre's but that was a couple of years before her marriage. I can't find any obvious children born to the marriage so far. That is what leads me to believe they emigrated. The marriage cert may have clues but I thought I'd give the boards a try before sending for one. Dierdre's parent ran a newsagents shop on Mansfield Road London NW5 during the WW2 years

That what I,m trying to put together Reggie !! :-D

Have you taken the obvious first step.........looked in 'search all trees'?

When you say 'vanished'...............where have you looked?

When did the parents die?

Who registered their deaths?

Theres a lady named Dierdre layton at 46 lautier Road NW 5 london in 1962

Not a lot of help and may not be your one as she is alone !

The above couple married in Q1 1966 in Kensington London. They then disappeared! Does anyone have any idea of how I can trace if they emigrated. I would be very grateful for any help. Dierdre was born in 1938 in Pancras London and her parents were Fred and Ethel Layton (nee Billings). She had a brother Tony 1933 and he has also vanished!
Thanks in anticipation
Jennifer
