this one may be on search trees if you search name and year of birth (Willington Quay Nor... Keith)

hope a message to Keith on search trees will be the right one***

Willington Quay is Northumberland, so if that's the one, the info above is not correct

thanks flick. Sorry to have given wrong info
Pity we don't get middle initials in search trees !!

Give the name Olga a try that looks more promising

I would think the death cert might be the best option.....comparatively recent, and the informant's details may be helpful.

Can't really look for births of children, with both surnames being the same........it would be fruitless.

The marriage cert would have his occupation at the time...........if he was in the Navy, it would certainly say so

I agree wholeheartedly, Jan, about the lack of info on the 'search trees' facility

Just followed up your excellent suggestion about looking for OLGA

The one whose birth I posted is in the tree of a GR member named DIANE................

Olga L Johnson is on the ER 2002-2008

Try asking for a lookup on one of the threads offering the facility

managed to message a Graham Johnson on here who as a George Johnson from sussex in his tree about the right age

jansmith

jansmith Report 12 Nov 2010 15:08

the Olga/Diane one might also be worth sending a message to if you have no luck with that one
