Desperately Seeking (*) Toynton
« on: Monday 01 June 15 14:49 BST (UK) »
Hello I am trying to find a long lost Aunt her name is (*)Toynton nee Lynes. Born in UK in the early 1950's, she emigrated to Australia in Apr 1957 with her mother Winifred May Lynes and her father Thomas Edward Lynes, eventually she ended up in  Christchurch,  New Zealand named  (*)Toynton how I do not know? I am trying to find any information on any, or all three of them, photographs would be good too.
Thank you for reading this and hopefully replying
Michael

Hi Michael,

The 1951 birth record you refer to for (*)  Lynes shows her mother’s surname as Callow but I can’t see a Lynes – Callow marriage anywhere, although there is one showing 1948 in Louth, Lincolnshire between Thomas E Lynes and Winifred M Smith.  Is it possible that she was adopted?
