Thank you - is there a way to find out anything about George W DRINKWWATER as he had died before the wedding of his son Thomas Edward in 1942 or is that the end of the line?

Thanks again

Hi Doris

Do you have access to census? Much more satisfying researching your own history, and a learning curve along the way.

He is on the 1939 register born 1878, his father was Thomas from marriage cert. If no access to census try familysearch, link given above.
