Maybe I am missing something but I can't even see a death record for Gertrude  :-\

There's Gertrude Elgey, buried Fleetwood Cemetery, 22 Jan 1974
1 other in grave, not sure that it's an Elgey.

Gertrude's death registered March 1974, Fylde, d-o-b 12 November 1919.

Possible perhaps if Alan + Gertrude weren't actually married.

I wonder if Gertrude had been previously married. I can see a Gertrude Brandon of the right age on the 1939 Register

It's on deceased online, as is Alan's burial (11 Nov 1972) / grave details  (1 other person).
Might be worth looking him up on there if you can. I haven't seen it myself.

That marriage for Gertrude looks a possibility. But what happened to Frank?

The reason i am looking at Gertrude is because of a mystery in my family line, a relation i now am in contact with after DNA testing is trying to find his biological mother, and she may have been born in about 1944 and giving birth to my relation in the united states in 1962, her mother , if we have the generational line about right puts Alan Eric Longworth and his sibblings in the frame, he may have some kind of a conection with canada perhaps, and of course gertrude seems very hard to find in the records.

The other person is Alan E Longworth  ;)
