Searching for Grandad

[Gilbert84]

Hi I’m looking for some help tracking down my grandad. His name is Kenneth F Gilbert. He was born in Newport Pagnell (1929?)mother’s maiden name Kerridge. We know that he married my Nan Jean in 1955 and that he was previously married but we know nothing else. We believe that he moved to the West Country. We have now ran out of ideas and don’t even know if he’s still alive or not. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to rootschat

Did he marry in 1956, Sidcup registration district.

If he is deceased his entry on the 1939 register should be visible, do you have his exact date of birth or his parents names.
