Hi, just came on to site today and am looking for any info about my dad Donald Wilsdon who came from Braintree in Essex.

He passed away in 1997 and had 4 brothers i think ,he married Nance (my mum) but they divorced some time ago.All his brothers are gone and i would just like to try and find out more about his side.

Hi there
Thanks very much for that yes thats dad and his middle name was Arthur .

jude

Thanks for that no not dad he was born in the November but someone has found him for me.

Thanks again
Jude

Hi Jenna

Thats not dad but he did have a brother Jack who married a Jean they had no children

Jude

Hi Judith,

The entry in December for Donald would have been when the birth was registered not neccessarily the month your father was born. Your father was born 18th November so his birth was probably not registered until the following month.

Hope that clarifies.

Oh sorry lot to learn about all this!!!!
So i now have my nan's name as well?



Jude

Jenna .

Just spoke to mum and she thinks that my nan and grandad never married but she used his name Wilsdon
Jude

Hi Judith,
Do you know your nans Christian name?

LL

Hi ll


It was Martha and she died round about 1969-1970

Jude

Hi Jude,

Just checked for a death for you. Not sure if this is your Martha or not : I am assuming she was using the name Wilsdon at the time of her death.

Date registered July/Sept 1972/ N. Cotswold. 7b 1165
Date of birth 13 Jan 1886.
