I am trying to find information about my Grandfather Frederick Thomas Fountain.
He was b 1893 at Spital, he married Ivy Baker in 1917. I think but not sure that his father was called Richard and his mother Emma Ann Kidd.
If anyone has any information about the Fountains I would be most grateful

Kind Regards
Anthony Suter

Bolton Percy is a village about four miles east of Tadcaster and his family are there in 1911.

Parents' marriage??

Two possible Emmas. Presumably Emma Ann, as she's Emma A in 1901.

[EDIT: Oh, yes, I see that Anthony mentions her in his OP.]
