Right guys and girls......... im hoping to literally find a super hero??

If I hit any more 'brick walls' im going to knock myself out lol

My grandfather....... Harry Burt
Born 28th Feb 1897 (25 Scholefield Road, Islington)
1901 - Residence (age 4)
1945 - Marriage to Stella Lally/Stone? (my nanna)
Death 18th march 1966 (living at 287, The Glade, Shirely)

If ANYONE can help me with any other information about this darling man I would be soooooo grateful (you have no idea) He died when my dad was just 14 and we know nothing of him (sadly my dad is no longer with us so even less info now)

Would love to know where he was before marrying my nanna?

1 previous address is Bensham Manor Road, Thornton Heathy, Surrey (this would have been around the time of his marriage)

Cannot seem to find any war info .......... looks like he was abducted by aliens for a few years??

Many thanks in advance xxx <3 <3

A Public Family Tree on ancestry has what might be the reason for the confusion over Stella's surname. That's if the information is accurate! ...............


The tree says she was married before

Probably NOT!!!


Stella Lally
Birth 25/05/1918 in Co. Durham
Death 01/09/1986 in Surrey, England

Parents

Thomas Lally
1886 –

Kate Pettit
1882 – 1952


Spouse and Children

1. Horace Stanley Stone
1896 – 1971

David William Stone
1942 –


2. Harry Burt
1897 – 1966

Dennis Christopher Burt

Michael Richard Burt
1953 – 2011



I cannot find a marriage for Stella with Horace Stanley Stone ...................

but I have found the following marriage ...........

Marriages Dec 1940 (>99%)

Lalley Helen Stone Holborn 1b 1259
Stone Horace S Lalley Holborn 1b 1259

and that could fit with this birth???

Births Mar 1929 (>99%)
Lalley Helen A Lalley Croydon 2a 499


so this is not your Stella ................... I'm leaving it up so that it can be discounted by other helpers.

I am a little puzzled by the fact that Harry was 48 when he married Stella .................

I wonder if he was married before?
