Welcome to the boards.

There is someone here on Genes called Keri who has Allen Gorton in her tree.

Use the "Search" option at the top right of the screen and click on "search all member trees". Put in Allen's name and birth year and you will find Keri. You can then send a message direct to her.

EDIT - Keri has the same surname as you so perhaps you are already in contact!

Not seeing any trace of them after the marriage - there are no Gorton/New births on Freebmd in England or Wales. That might be explained away if she were widowed when she married Allan., or if they moved to Scotland
