Member Since: January 2006 Posts: 1 Send Message	William (Bill) Henry Corbett (1921-2006) and/or his family I'm trying to locate anyone who has information about a William (Bill) Henry Corbett and his family. William was born roughly 1921 (I'm not sure where maybe Bilston?) I belive his parents were a Robert Corbett and Catherine Annie Upton. He died last year October 16th 2006 and was buried Octoer 26th 2006 at Bushbury Crematorium. I believe his wife is known as Mary and he has three children Julia, John and I believe Pertunia (maybe patricia?) They may be living around the portsmouth area? I hope that they would be able to give some information about the Corbett line.William would have been my grandad Rays Uncle. Before Ray married my Nan (Pauline Turley) she said she met Williams Sister Annie and some of the family. Also my father Carl Corbett was given some toy boats by William? As we have lost touch it would be great if anyone could pass on this plea for help!
