Hedley Ratcliffe and Blanche Amelia Griffin
« on: Friday 26 February 21 08:44 GMT (UK) »
Hi I'm trying to trace details on the family of Hedley Ratcliffe who was born on Jul 1904 in Atcham, Shropshire, and Blanche Amelia Griffin whom he married during July 1932 in Atcham. I believe that Hedley may have worked as a nurse in the mental hospital. At some point the family moved to Hereford. Their son Gordon Ratcliffe who was born in 1934 is my father in law.

The marriage certificate for Hedley and Blanche should confirm their fathers names. 

Not finding much on her at present. 

If your father in law is still alive then his name should be removed to protect his privacy  :)

There's a Blanche Amelia baptised in Birmingham 9 Nov 1904 to father George mother Amelia but would need to cross check the marriage record to see if father was George.

If you find Blanche and Hedley on 1939, other residents in the household  might help with this query
