Hi All

I am trying to find out more about my father. He was born Jack Tune to a Clara Tune, (b.1896-1929). his father was we believe John Bamforth, they never married! He was then adopted by a William and Florence Ackroyd, I think Willliam was born 1894, can't find death but I'm sure it was 60's or early 70's. Can't find birth for Florence ? Butler ?b Doncaster 1906 but not sure, no death record found.
All this takes place around the Doncaster Barnsley Mexborough area.
If anyone has any spare time and the facility to search I would be grateful
for any leads.

Many thanks
Jacqueline

I can't see a marriage between William Ackroyd and Florence Butler

This is the only feasible marriage on freebmd for a William Ackroyd to anyone named Florence

Can you just say what info you are looking for?
There is no marriage for William Ackroyd to a Florence Butler as far as I can tell.

Jonesey, It's a bit confusing - Clara was born 1896 (see 1911 above), Jack 1926.

I wondered who would spot my deliberate mistake. (lol)

Guys

thank you so much for the info, you have been busy!
Sorry not to reply earlier, was talking to someone in America about an Irish
relative!!

Don't really know Florence's maiden name so there's a challenge if you like one LOL!

I was interested in the Ackroyds as that is my maiden name (mnnn I know!)
but if any info available on Tunes, this would be gratefully received.

once again
thank you
