Deaths on GRO.

Doris's father looks to be Albert E Alston (1897) who married Lydia Beasant in 1924.
They had an older son Thomas.
Look for them on 1939, and by coincidence or otherwise, another interesting surname pops up on same page.

Added: Think it is just coincidence.

1959 daughter has a fairly obvious marriage, and is on facebook.

Strange that is looks like Dennis and Doris both died in 2012, which site did you find that info on?

The official GRO death index goes up until 2019. Anc* up to 2007 on one catalogue and England & Wales death index 1989-2019 but this is not complete.

Hi John,

You sent me details of Dennis's death 4qtr 2012, and Chempac detail of Doris also 4qtr 2012

I've made progress !

I found the phone number for Dennis and Doris's eldest son and spoke to his wife a little while ago.
She said the information we worked out is right and there's was a very complicated family.
He is out but she said he will be happy to talk to me later this evening.
She said what a difficult time it had been because Dennis and Doris (who lived close by) died within days of each other in 2012 both from cancer.

She also said Dennis didn't see his father, so I suppose I won't be able to find what became of him,
  but I am pleased that Dennis went to to have a good family life
I was quite nervous about 'phoning ,but she was very nice, and so it wil be good to hear exactly what her husband knows.
Will let you know
Sandra

Do you mean that Dennis did not see his father Leslie after the marriage broke down?  This is a pity.  But the rest is good.

That's great news. You may wish just to modify your last post and remove son's name as a living person as per rootschat policy.

Thank you John, I thought I'd sent to you as a PM, but have modified as you suggested.
Thanks again for all your help
