You should be able to find past 'Threads' by using 'My threads' (left of page here, under 'Tools) but would probably be far quicker to google surname followed by familyfinder genes.

All info. you have lost should still be about! (although wasn't you then known as fairlyfatfairy)

Chris :)

Oh wow - how did you find that thread? - I didn't even remember looking that up 8 years ago -sadly I lost 4 years of research a few years ago - computer blew up -so much going back over stuff.
although I'm not sure its right anyway now! as My mum just told me her husbuand was called Reg - latest one is looking possible. I'll need to order some certs I think. Thank you

just wondering if this is her as I knew her as 'Gwen'
death
Vera Gwendolen P Litton
Birth: date
Death: dd mm 1985 - city, Devon

this looks like the wife of Reg J L found earlier in 1939 ! but
I'm not sure how to prove it is her really. - as both records show her as Vera.
I always knew her as a widow so will check for his death.

Which of these would you think likely ?

(is that her on above?)

Chris :)

Looking for a marriage of Mr ? Litton to Gwendoline Annie ? (Possibly Bond) in about 1930-1935 in Devon probably St Thomas district. (she was born 1909 17th July)


Edits (some other Litton 'Threads' coming up, just google Litton familyfinder genes)

hi it just occurred to me -that an old 'friend of my Nan's that I grew up visiting also had the surname Litton! I'd like to work out where she fits in -but s far can't find who she was married to - (Been randomly searching marriages and deaths on Free BMD beacuse all I can acsess till Sat)
I knew her as Mrs Gwendoline Litton and she died in late 1980's I think (first funeral I ever went to) would be registered Exeter. Can anybody see ful details of the death please then at least I'd have her date of birth and any middle initials?

thanks Mel

oh Austin that's so sad -but so useful! all those names :-)
