Wow! That’s a lot of info in one day.
I have the bare bones of the Stafford family from BDM, the census and the 1939 registration. I was hoping to make contact with any descendants out there who might have info and family photographs of Beatrice Stafford. So I am tracing the family ‘forward’ rather than ‘backwards’ as we usually do. There are some connected family trees on Ancestry. Beatrice married my grandfather William Turton in 1925, but a year later Beatrice died of TB on 26 Oct 1926, living at 37 George lane, Bredbury. My grandfather never talked about his first marriage, he moved down south to the Plumstead area of London .William soon remarried to Ida Steer on 12 Nov 1927, but on the certificate he described himself as a bachelor, not a widower.
All I have are a few family stories from the Turton family living in Stockport and a few photographs found fairly recently showing unknown women one of whom who might be Beatrice.
