There is a birth for a Dinah in 1948.........MMN Rickey.

I'm not seeing a Marriage for a Simon J Thomas to a Rickey though.

Well, not in England or Wales.

Check out the birth on this free site........http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

Ah, no forget that..........I think this is the first marriage...


Marriages Jun 1946 (>99%)
McLaren Anna M Thomas Maidenhead 2c 1442
Thomas Simon J McLaren Maidenhead 2c 1442

Daughter Dinah born 1946.

It looks like Dinah married in Portsmouth, Hampshire.

I will PM the details to Vanessa.
