Hi,
I have looked on the Death Registration and it just says Robert Todd no middle name. June 1940,
I can find a marrige reg for them Todd to a Taylor in Lanchester Durham 1937.
I am guessing the next step would be to get a copy of the marrige cert. Then hopefully Roberts Fathers name will be on there ?.
I have also found a Birth Reg Robert Todd 1914, Mothers name Leach, in Lanchester could have been born Lanchester if married there ? so I have a bit of a start.
Thanks for the advice Pam.
