I have found that my great grandmother born Gladys Matilda Wheldrake in Hull in 1895 died Gladys Matilda Melles at the junction of Amethyst Road and Barham Road in Hull on 17th July 1962.

Does anyone have any information about her death - as the circumstances would suggest an accident of some sort?

Hi Sarah,

Yes I was, but hadn't realised he was alive, so posted in error!

That's so interesting, the family story is that he married Dorothy Upton in 1940 in Leeds!  Their daughter Jane was born in 1944 in Coventry.  I wonder if there was a previous marriage, and potential previous half sibling to Jane.  He then may not have been "free" to marry Dorothy.

Hi JJ,

He could have died in the Coventry area, I get the impression that it's quite complicated.  I can't find a marriage record for him either, and yet Jane's mum is listed as Dorothy Blears when she married for the second time.  I begin to wonder if she just took his name and they never married!

Thanks

I'm trying to trace my second cousin Jane's birth father, John Alfred Leslie Blears.  He is listed on her birth certificate in 1944, and died in the late 1950s.  Jane was born in Coventry, and her mother was Dorothy Upton, born in Bramley, Leeds in 1921.

We know very little about John, and sadly Jane's mum died in 1950, so we can't ask her either!

Any help is gratefully received.

Thank you :)
