I am looking for Donald Perry born 1927 in Brentford Essex.. Parents,
Stanley Perry and Ena Eaton Ena later married Arthur Norton in 1932. Arthur and Ena [Ena changed her name to Pat] were Ballroon dancers in the late 1930's Sylvia

How are you connected?

Have you checked freebmd for accurate birth details for him?

No death up to 2006, so please be discreet.........he may be living

Ena married Arthur Norton. Arthur was my uncle, but just seemed to fall off the radar. He and my Mum had a big argument after my Nan's funeral. And that was that! I have been trying to find out what happened to them.
I know they were World Champoin Ballrooom Dancers 1937/8/9. As Arthur Norton and Pat Eaton. Sylvia

Norton Arthur Eaton Paddington 1a 111
Perry Ena E Norton Paddington 1a 111

He appears to be Donald A Perry, registered in June and September 1927.

This from a google search:
Any one access to a newspaper archive? I'm trying to find out what happened
to Arthur Norton born 1907 and his wife Ena Edith Eaton (called Pat) who
"won" the World Championship in 1947 but had it withdrawn. We think Arthur
had a dance studio in 1949 but he and his end are elusive.

Just thought that if I could trace Donald or his descendants i could find out more.. Sylvia

No 'J' in the marriage info

There is a J in the electoral information........

Decided they had danced off to Spain.

From wikipedia:
World Championships:
1937 Arthur Norton & Pat Eaton England
1938 Arthur Norton & Pat Eaton England
1939 Arthur Norton & Pat Eaton England

and they wrote a book;
Modern Ballroom Dancing simplified for the Beginner [Unknown Binding]
Arthur C. Norton (Author), Pat Eaton (Author)

but he is Arthur C

Also, definitely a studio:

Sylvia,
Are you related to Geoff who has also been looking for them, as if so we are just repeating information.

Australia not Spain?
