Don't know if these are relevant? Probably not - different spelling. (Sorry if already posted among all that earlier detail!)

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Thanks Erin, looks like the son J M is mentioned in that link

AG, I think that's too early as he is in 80s according to the info I've been given but thank you

I wonder if Rene got divorced as there looks to be another marriage for her husband

Maybe she just lived with a man?

Hi Erin

I saw that with the first link

What I couldn't see were any other details other than death details, address and names mentioned

Here's a link to make a url tiny

You say she was a widow, did it give her late husbands name, I'm guessing not

Hi Gins....No other details than "Widow" under the address.

I wonder if at some stage she was related to the De Frece Theatrical circuit....there is also a De Frece Golf Trophy for the area but I cant find where/when that originated and for who/what for.

It's so frustrating and it's not my family!

Appreciate all the help though

It looks like the De Frece family had money, looked at probate(s)

I'm thinking, Rene separated from Faust and either had a child registered under her new lovers name or, was a step mom to her new bow

Well looking at the houses on the Grassington Rd.they appear to be Council Masonettes so it does make you wonder.....

Totally unrelated to this family but it caught my eye as a chap I've been researching for our WW1 community project was Walter De Frece Robson. Apparently his parents were fans of the music hall artiste/male impersonator Vesta Tilley (real name Matilda Alice Powles) - she married a Walter De Frece so they gave their lad that as his forenames.
