This *might* be a marriage, but you'd need to purchase it from
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
to be sure....unless someone can find a Parish record?

Amy Fiveash
Spouse Surname: Burcombe- Thomas A
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1920
Registration district: Thornbury
Inferred County: Gloucestershire
Volume Number: 6a
Page Number: 735

There are 4 children with the surname Burcombe and mother's maiden name Fivash shown on http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl in the thornbury reg district

Since they were born 1921, 1922, 1923 and 1938 they may still be living. None have an initial Z/F or name beginning with that.

Seems the only likely possible,DET. It looks as though Thomas died and Amy re-married. I think this is her death:

Yes - she could have re-married after Thomas' death in 1942...but she'd be getting on a bit for another child?

Oh no,no, I wasn't suggesting that!!!!

I think this is she re-marrying.

If you're right

2nd marriage deleted - as above

Either Fr/Z/ederick was adopted, or he was her stepson

Sorry Maureen - really ought to go to bed. Good luck with finding the missing child!

Laura - if you are reading, please give us some feed back by replying on the thread, Click on the purple reply button at the top of the page, or scroll to the bottom.

Had a PM from Laura and have asked her to reply on the thread.

I did figure out,though,that the child she was mentioning was the son of Dorothy,not Amy. (Dorothy married a Davey).

I do think we've matched Amy up correctly.

Ah. Thank you Maureen.

Have you been able to sort out records and associated sources for Dorothy? Are we to assume that it is possible he is still living?
