im lookin for Thomas Hacking who I believe came from the Blackpool area. Not sure of his date of birth but think it would have been in the 1920's or 30's. He was last heard of in Canada, can anyone help

Thanks Nicky

I belive his parents are Thomas Hacking c 1897 and Annie Crowther c 1899. Not much to go on I know, Blackpool seems to be the right place though

Cannot locate a death registration for either of them here so I guess they either travelled abroad again, are still alive or they both died here after 2005 which is as far as my death registrations go.
