HI All,
Im doing some research for my Mother in Law, im looking for family of Doris Marjorie Skinner born 1921c and Leslie Norman Collins born 1923c, the only info i have is from a marriage certificate(July 29th 1944). Father of Doris Is Ernest Skinner and father of Leslie is Thomas William Collins. I have looked on genes but without joy as i do not know where either were born.
I must add my mother in law was adopted young so have limited info.

Can anyone help?

Kind Regards Georgie
