URMSTON of Chester

[just1203]

I am researching my paternal grandmother's family. My G Grandather was Ernest John URMSTON (1879-1936) married to Marie Beatrice CHARMLEY (1883-1957). Ernest's family founded Urmston and Son's Bakery in Chester and it was famous for its biscuits. They had 3 daughters:
Beryl Beatrice (1917-2013) my gran; Phyllis Mary (1907-1983) and Lilian Joyce (1915-1995)

I am especially looking into any information about Phyllis (who married James GORDON) and Lilian (who married William ORTON). Phyllis settled in Ruislip, London and ran a sweet shop until her death. Lilian (known as Joyce), supported the military command in Cheshire but I dont have any details of exactly what she did.

Phyllis married late in life - 1952 in Hammersmith - no children recorded

Lilian married 1939  in Staines but no children recorded

Phyllis left a will

Thank you Carole, I wasn't familiar with that probate search, so that is helpful.
I do have details of their birth, marriage and death, I am posting on here in case anyone has photos or other details they can share. I don't have any photos of Phyllis and her husband James Gordon for example.
Cheers!
