My paternal Grandfather Robert B Atkinson born S Shields 1913
Middle name Blumer (also spelt Bloomer). married Jenny Wills in 1938. Died in 1981
I remember he had a brother George there were others but i was 8 when we left the UK. so my memory not that great..
Robert re married after divorcing jenny, new wife was named Chrissie but not sure of the date they married or her full name.
Does anyone have any connections to the above names.
Robert and Jenny had 3 children.
Robert 1939, Alan c1941 and christine 1959.

Any info or assistance would be very much appreciated.

regards

Debbie

Not seeing any others with that mother's maiden name so perhaps they were born before 1911.

Not so sure of that marriage now:

Births Jun 1917
Wills Jenny Reay S. Shields 10a 1270

Births Mar 1920
Wills Thomas Reay S.Shields 10a 2173

Births Dec 1921
Wills Nellie Reay S.Shields 10a 1595

I would expect some births between 1911 and 1917.

Thanks Rose,

yeah i would have thought there would have been more children, i'm sure Gran had more than just Nellie and Thomas.
I might have to order some certs to solve this one

Thanks so much for your help

Tracing Robert, Alan and Christine is tricky because there are so many Atkinsons.
