Title: Giltrow in Letcombe Regis 1920+
Post by: southistle on Sunday 03 May 15 23:44 BST (UK)
Would like to find living descendants of William Thomas GILTROW and Alice Mary DAY (married 1902).
Alice Mary's niece Phyllis spent a wonderful summer with them in Letcombe Regis about 1922.

rootschat does not allow publication of living relatives - so you are better off trying a different site.

Have you identified possible children from the 1911 census, and from any subsequent Giltrow/Day births?

Have you found deaths for William and Alice, and got the death certificates ,as the informants could be related?  Have you checked for any wills?

Could you say when William and Alice were born?

Thank-you

IF you can get access to ancestry there looks to be a family tree for Ivor William Giltrow married to Una Woodgate. He passed away on 13 July 1983 in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.

Various marriages and births showing on free bmd, and then try facebook and ER searches, as some are fairly obvious.
