hi sorry to all but had to go school run.
sent dawn pm with details of fathers death. still have not found 2nd marriage or half sisters. suggested getting death certificate for info on addresses and possible witnesses. missing files on ancestry for q4 1969 q1 1970? so all finds will be guesses without certificates?

There may be more? but definately two daughters . he was definately married..... but not 100% sure when between 1967 and 1970 i think? he committed bigomy on my mother so maybe the marriage wasnt registered or deleted from the register????

Is it definitely 2 daughters? And are you definite he did get married?

Dawn

Dawn Report 16 Dec 2008 16:03

I am still trying to trace his daughters from his second marriage? born between 1967 and 1975 approx.

maybe my next step would be to find the name of his second wife???

No its just Barry Woodward - I have been told his date of birth is 5th May 1940???? not sure how true this is though as i have found no evidence of this.

Grumpy

Grumpy Report 16 Dec 2008 14:02

does he have a middle initial? there are not many barry woodwards in this time frame but 2 quarters are missing from ancestry index which could make this impossible to do without visiting a major library and reviewing the indexes

I was born in 1965 to Barry Woodwards first marriage to Margaret Hawcroft, along with my other brothers and sister: Lynn, Mark and David.

Barry Woodward remarried between 1967 and 1970. His daughters were born between 1966 and 1971 i think.

your half sisters i am guessing are younger than you? if so what is your year of birth and what year did barry woodward go his seperate way? it may help

I am searching for my two half sisters, born to Barry Woodward (1940) I believe they were born in Bedfordshire. I dont know the name of their mother only that Barry Woodward and his brother John was born to Margery and Bill Woodward from Barnsley. I believe Barry is now deceased which is making it even harder work to find my half sisters. Can anyone help?
