I am looking for any information, photos etc of my husbands family.
His father was Stanley Newton who was married to Peggy Newton, nee Richards, until her death in 1967.
He then married a lady called Frances.
I have two sons and we have no photos or information about their father’s family. We are just looking for any information or photos or any details of Peggy’s family. We are not necessarily in need of any contact if it is not wanted. Just some photos of their fathers family would be great. Their father could never tell them much and now this is their only hope.
I hope you can help, thanks!
If you obtain a copy of Stanley and Peggy’s marriage certificate, this will give you the names and occupation of their fathers. Certificates can be purchased on line from http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
at a cost of £9.25.
Below is a fraction of what is readily available online!
