Oh my goodness - thank you all so much!
This has lead to me finding what I believe is my nan’s half-brother & half-sister on Facebook.
I have contacted them & am waiting to hear back from them.
Can’t tell you how thankful I am

This is great - thank you so much.

Is there any way of finding out what happened to Richard Hughes? My Nan lost contact with him when she was 15 & we have no information about him after this. We don’t know when he died or what happened to his new family.

My Nan said she had a step-sister called Leonora (not sure of spelling) & a step-brother Richard. They would have been approximately 2 & 7 respectively around about 1944.

Thanks again for your help.

I think Doris  possibly married again in Tamworth in 1934 to the co respondent mentioned in the divorce papers.

Hi Cathy

Yes my great grandma re-married to the gentleman I always knew as my great-grandad.

It’s her first husband that I am looking to trace the history of.

Thanks for your help 😊

Hi,

I’m not sure if I’ve replied using the correct button - new to all of this!

Yes his daughter is still alive - that’s my lovely Nan.

I have a copy of their marriage certificate - it says he was 21 when they were married so he’d either be born 1907 or 1908. His father’s name was Charles Hughes and I know he was deceased when they married. I can’t read what it says his fathers occupation was.

Many thanks for your help!
