Thanks Dea,

You're right, I have found the marriage of Arthur (1904), father Ernest, to Clara Tither in 1930.

Regards
Joseph

Thanks for info Dea.

The info I have is he died in WWII, but not 100% certain.

Lancs BMD:

http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/index.php

Very useful site for Lancs details - even gives mothers maiden names for births for several areas, right back to 1837 !!

Then, if you find the church they were married in, you can often cross reference them to this site and see the actual parish entries:

A tree on Ancestry suggests that the 1910 one is 'yours':

arthur longworth
B:1910 in Greater Manchester, Lancashire, United Kingdom
D:25 dec 1957 in great lever bolton lancashire

Does the date of death match the info you have?

Dea x

Thanks Dea, but where did you get that info?? ie Wesleyan Chapel?

Joseph

Sorry Joseph - the marriage was at the Wesleyan Chapel which is not on line at that time!

Lois Porter 1931 Bolton

Who did he marry and when?

There are 'some' marriage certs on line for Bolton!

Dea x

Still not sure, I'll have to get his marriage certificate.

Joseph

So - is one of them yours then??

Dea Xxx

I have a distant relation living in Bolton, Lancs in the 1911 census either

Arthur Longworth born 1903/4
OR
Arthur Longworth born 1910

Would some kind member look them up as further details may help me to decide which.
