Title: Denington
Post by: mereej on Sunday 10 April 16 09:26 BST (UK)

Trying to find info on the Denington family (originally from Essex, U.K.).   Frank Denington married Lucy Manning Kerridge 1913 Sydney, NSW.  Frank was killed in action 1917 Passchendaele, Belguim.  They had no children.

I have a poppy from Poppy Park www.poppypark.org.au for Frank and would love to be able to reunite it with family.

Grateful for any help.   Meree Jacomb

Not much help with a descendant, but Lucy died under the surname DENINGTON

Parents James Charles & Lucy Ann
At ST LEONARDS

For many years, from the 1930's to 1949 the electoral Rolls show she shared  addresses with Alexander CARSWELL, in the Petersham area. She was enrolled in the name DENINGTON.
Alexander CARSWELL was a butcher.

He died

Thanks everyone.

I would love a copy of the probate package Ros.   I have Lucy's death cert and it shows no children so the probate might give more info.

Jennifer, I cant work out how to private message!!!!!!   I am a bit computer challenged and new to Rootschat.  I will have another look this morning as Im not working.
