Laura Report 8 Feb 2024 18:11

Hi, I tried this once before (a few years ago) but it will not let me into that account.

I have been researching my Great Grandfather for a while now to try and get some answers for my Nana. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Charles William Oliver Norcott - also known by Jack
Born: 29/01/1912 Lincolnshire, Yorkshire
Death: Unknown
Parents: Frederick James Norcott (1879-1975)
& Fanny Verge (1881-1975)

Married Florence Beryl Cynthia Whiteley (1936)
Children: Audrey (1937) & Wendy (1940) Norcott
Left his family 1944

Married Laura Cooper (1954)

Went to Canada around 1957 to set up home and was supposed to send for Laura

I have since been told he met a lady on the boat called Dorothy and married her, never sending for Laura?

My Nana is now 80 and never had any closure on what happened to her father so we are trying to fill in the gaps for her.

I have done a family tree on ancestry but after the marriage to Laura Cooper, Charles seems to disappear!

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
