James Platt married Catherine Williams. James died 1959 and had 2 sisters Bridgit and Josie. Nobody knows in the family the name of his mother or father infact they are sure the father had died when they were young, but the nan was known at Nanny Platt.
Nobody knows anything about Bridgit or Josie only that their married names were Cooke and Fletcher not sure which one.
Any info to get me started would be fab
Thanks

James' father's name will be on his marriage cert.
Do you have any dates of birth for James and his sister's?
There are loads of death's 1959 for James Platt's.
Do you know which year James got married?
When was James' eldest child born?

Hi dont even know the dates of the marriage between him and Catherine.Nothing about sisters either. When nan (Catherine) died alot of her stuff was given to a cousin who is no longer in touch with the family sad really they all split up after her death. Will keep plugging my dad who is rubbish memory wise.
thanks

But I tell you what the info you gave me on mums side yesterday was incredible and now I am upto 1861 and have ordered marriage cert to get more info

I'll have a look for the marriage details for you luckily there isn't millions of platts ;-)

Hi Carrie, do you know jow old James was when he died in 1959, so we can reduce the amount of options for James birth, as there are quite a lot??

Unluckily there are two James' death's in Jan-Mar 1959 in Liverpool.your james would have been approx 58?

James Platt age 59 Liverpool N 10d 427

James Platt age 57 Liverpool N 10d 362

Dad thinks 58 but I know the grave so I could get that off there I think

Cathy, best to order the marriage cert before doing anything else x
And a trip to the cemetary might be in order ;-)
