Bedford Family
« on: Friday 27 September 19 06:27 BST (UK) »
I am seeking information on the Bedford family.
Eric Bedford B 1930 married Phyllis Desiree Rogers B 1932 in 1954 in Smethwick area. She died in 1973. I believe his father was George William Bedford and mother Maud Harrison?
Any assistance greatly appreciated. Thank You David

I believe his father was George William Bedford and mother Maud Harrison?

In the Father's marriage and death and 1939 index there is no second name William showing, so where does that come from?

Added:
No George William Bedford birth in Kings Norton in correct time period - just George Bedford.
