well Kenneth's birth cert will give his mums maiden name then you can look for a marriage for them and any other siblings Kenneth may have had. You should find Stanley's birth on FreeBMD and his marriage and his children

This looks as if it could be Stanley's marriage:-

Marriages Jun 1918
Gunn Margaret - Staples Stanley J. - Bedwellty 11a 127

Ancestry is down at the moment so can't get on to check out census records.

Barry do you think we have the right one in Wales?

EDIT - I think so, the Kenneth who died in 1968 died in Cardiff and was Kenneth G.

Battenburg

Battenburg Report 5 Mar 2010 18:51

Can you find Kenneth's death in 1968 because it will give his date of birth for elimination

OOps You edited as I replied

Madmeg

Madmeg Report 5 Mar 2010 18:52

Forgot to say, on the 1911 census it says 7 children born, 2 died.

EDIT - so we have them all.

In 1871, he's in Scotland, presumably with his family. Can't find in 1881. In 1891 he's a Draper's Assistant in Cheltenham.

So that's the Gunns "banged off" for now.

Do you want us to do any more Barry? I don't want to take over!
