Looking for Lumley’s in County Durham
« on: Saturday 15 August 20 17:28 BST (UK) »
My other half has hit a brick wall re her grandfather and I’m looking for some help if it’s possible. Her father, Raymond Lumley b 2 January 1920 d 11 June 1990. His father, Henry (K/A Harry) Lumley b1893 d1944(ish) married to Hannah Mather in 1917. Got him living in Birtley, Co. Durham. Only death I can find is a Henry Lumley d1944 in Droitwich. Not a place that is expected, especially when family is in the north east. Any help will be wonderful. TIA.

Is it his wife (Hannah) that gets married in 1945 to Stanley Hewitson

Have you discounted this one
Death Sep qtr 1942

Ages are often wrong on death registrations

Have you tried the 1939 Register. He should be on that,

Probate entry for that one suggests he is probably not yours
