Using the free search facility on Scotlandspeople, it looks like Maureen had a sister Margaret born in Gorbals. Her death in Inverness shows mmn Provan. There is a good chance that this is Maureen's parents marriage

Possible son born in 1962 Middlesex. Likely other son born in Scotland

I don't think the 1965 birth is connected

I wondered to Sylvia if they married in Scotland or maybe abroad

There is the birth of one son in 1965. Not Grimsby

The other son may have been born in Scotland.

Sylvia and I had corresponded off board h

one son born 1955 Grimsby. I can't find the second son with the same mmn

Also can't find a Maureen with that maiden name marrying a Johnson,

I have received a communication from an ex-member, with the obituary fro Maureen.

Peter Michael was apparently commonly known as Mick

I'm now off to see if I can find the sons.

Do you know roughly when the children were born, and if they were born in Grimsby/Lincolnshire.

That gives us a chance to find the births and see the mother's maiden name .................. you do not have to post the children's names on here.

If they were also born in Lincolnshire then that should narrow the births down



We would need to find a birth to see the mmn

I do not know her maiden name. They had two sons who will be both alive, hence I have not shown their names. I have not found their births due to the surname being common.
