Looking for the Sapsford Family
« on: Sunday 29 November 20 13:13 GMT (UK) »
Hello All

I am looking for death and any other information on Walter Sapsford born 17 January 1912, don't know where he was born but his Father was Fredrick Sapsford and his Mothers maiden name was Matthews (don't know this ladies first name).  But Walter married Elizabeth Gourlay on the 20 April 1941 in Netherton Parish church, Cockermouth, Cumberland.  Elizabeth was born 19 April 1912 in Wigton and her paretns were Alexander Gourlay and Elizabeth Stuart, would love some information on Elizabeth ie when did she die and where??

Did Walter and Elizabeth have any family??

Regards
Oleeta
