I am trying to trace Alan Dickenson born approx 1935 to John & Violet Dickenson. John was known as Jack I who I think died in 1989 in stoke on trent. Alan would be my fathers cousin and we lost touch with his family many years ago
Any info would be much appreciated thanks

Which of Alan's parents is your father's blood relation?

When was that person born?

You could get the father's death cert to find out who registered it - may well have been the son

Waiting now for feedback

Jayne

Jayne Report 16 Mar 2010 11:29

As far as I am aware again my Dad is very vague but thanks for your help I will try and get more info

Jayne

Jayne Report 16 Mar 2010 11:40

it is definately John A Dickenson who was the father so the possiblity is that violet is incorrect thanks again

Susan

Susan Report 16 Mar 2010 11:52

That Alice V Griffiths could very well be Alice VIOLET Griffiths know as Violet??

There are another three possible children on Ancestry 1 male and 2 female - the male Patrick K was born in 1932 and then a girl in 1939 and another in 1943 all born in Wolverhampton.

Jayne

Jayne Report 16 Mar 2010 12:06

Thanks for that it looks like a possiblity so were there 4 children altogether?

Flick

Flick Report 16 Mar 2010 13:02

I think the death cert is probably your best hope

Jayne

Jayne Report 16 Mar 2010 13:45

Thanks I have just ordered that. Will post the details once I have them. Hopefully this will shed more light on things

Once again many thanks
