Could any kind person do a quick look up for me please? I am looking for the birth of Joan Marjorie POLTON born c1921 in Portsmouth - Father's name James John POLTON and the marriage details of her parents (mother's maiden name believed to be Donald)

If anyone can help, I'd be really grateful.

Many thanks,

Chris

Polton Joan M, mmn Donald Q3 1921, looks like Kingston 2a 860?
Kingston covers parts of Surrey and Middlesex

That should say, Mothers maiden name Donald, father is Polton

Thank you all - what speed! I only went to make a drink and came back to all these replies!!!

Kingston is also a district of Portsmouth - so could be there, I suppose.

Very many thanks indeed one and all!
