	These are only a guess until you confirm them with details from Ernest & Winifred's birth certificates. Marriage for Winifred's parents.... Marriage registered in Jul/Aug/Sep 1933 Names: BROOKS Joseph W. & CAPEWELL Hilda District: Mansfield Vol: 7b Page: 334 Possible marriage for Edward's parents..... Marriage registered in Oct/Nov/Dec 1930 Names: LINNEY George S. & YOUNG Catherine J. District: South Shields Vol: 10a Page: 1522 As Paula & Heather have already advised, order the certificates for your parents first of all. They will give you their parents names.

Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 41 Send Message	Hi Christina, Wow I am so amazed at what you have found in a few hours I have only been doing it for 4 months and had found nothing, with the dates they sound correct, I only had rough estimates of dates that I had tried to remember from being a child and I am pretty sure that all the dates tally. A really big thank you for all the details you have found for me so far, you are a star. Thank you. Av

Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 41 Send Message	Hi Christina, I was wondering if my grandfather Joseph Brooks was not married to Hilda Capewell when they had a son also called Joseph and a daughter also named Hilda as my mother Winifred was born in 1935 and she was not the eldest child and the information of their wedding was in 1933 as you found for me Marriage for Winifred's parents.... Marriage registered in Jul/Aug/Sep 1933 Names: BROOKS Joseph W. & CAPEWELL Hilda District: Mansfield Vol: 7b Page: 334 as I stated in earlier posts I was not told much as a child whether this was due to me being adopted I am not sure, Thanks for everything else you have found out for me so far Av

Member Since: May 2007 Posts: 41 Send Message	Hi Christina, A big thank you again, it looks as if Hilda must have been married under a different name and that her mother also named Hilda must have had her to another male, its so amazing what you can find out, I am unsure as to where anyone in the rest of the family on my Mothers side got married as they used to move around quite a bit, All I can remember is they resided in Tynemouth, North Shields, Whitley Bay, Barking in Essex,and various households in London. I can not thank you enough for all your hard work, Av
