All born Wentnor.

I wondered if his father called himself by his 2nd name but if you follow Edward back it doesn't seem he was ever a Richard. Though his father was.

It's all becoming too involved with all the Richards. If you believe Maureen's 1911 is your family I can post the censuses for you.

Following Maureen's lead.

No need for pm.

You said
"richard e potter and lillian bladen there mum and dad were called

either richard e potter or george e wilde ?? in the family tree photo both names appear in the same box there for an unknown reason and there partner is listed as dinal ellen wilde or elizabeth potter "

So I went looking for a marriage for a Richard E Potter and found the one I posted. If Lillian Bladen's parents were George & Dinah Wilde then look at these.

Fits in with your info.




I'll remove the other Wild/Wilde/Wylde info if you like. It looks like I went off on the wrong track.

hi ozibird thanx ever ever so much but im a bit confused where the wild surname comes into it i see there are a couple of marriages could you private message me as it is all a bit confusing pmsl

Going back to the Paynes, your grandfather, Frank, was born about 1927 calculating from your mother's birth, his death, etc. Also he had a sister, Eileen, and his father died when he was about 2 or 3.



So these are possibilities.

This seems to fit with your photos.

Ignore the Payne info for the moment. We seem to have come to a dead end there.

ive only got his brothers death which was about 1970/71 he was 43 when he died... all i know for sure is my mum said he had only two girls and married Dorothy someone posted they thought they had found the marriage in 1944

You need to find Elizabeth and Julie Payne with the same mother's maiden name.

Have you any idea when Jim married or when the girls were born ?

as i have been told they only had girls?

what they are jim's kids?
