I am looking to progress with finding out more about a deceased Uncle.

Does anyone have access to the 1939 site?

His name was William Ewart Stone born 1911 in Worcestershire. His wife was named Leafa Evelyn nee Mitchell. Did they have children and where were they living in 1939?

Thanking you in advance Nala.

I don't have a FMP sub to see all the details, but I can post this:

Stone Household
Droitwich R.D., Worcestershire, England

William Ewart Stone 1911
Leafa Evelyn Stone is also on this record
6 more people who are officially closed

So they may have had 6 children (though some of the closed records may have been other adults in the household).

FreeBMD shows a daughter Stone, mms Mitchell, born Droitwich 1939 (2nd qr).

There are two other Worcestershire births, Stone/Mitchell, 1933 and 1937, but not in Droitwich.

PS to my earlier post:

I see William and Leafa were married 1937, so the 1933 birth probably isn't their child.

But they were married in Kidderminster, and the 1937 birth is in Kidderminster, so is likely their daughter.

Looking at births surname Stone mothers maiden name Mitchell in Droitwich, Worcestershire, England there are 6 first in 1939 last in 1948. Not putting details as they could well be living and may or may not be their children (would need the certificates to confirm)

Try the relatively new free site for mother's maiden names
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp

You have to register but no cost.

Shows mothers maiden names from start of registration 1837 through to 1915 and ages at death (though they haven't as yet sorted how to show months or weeks - only show as years !!)
