Looking for Tony Brett

[heywood]

Can I just confirm that you are/were assuming that the Tony Brett who died in Colne is your relative?
I can’t see another one who died that year.

Sorry, I should also have asked were her other siblings also mentioned in that newspaper report.  I was wondering whether whoever had given the information to the newspaper had got the siblings name wrong

Hi Rosie,
yes the newspaper report mentions the other siblings, Frances, Joyce,,  Maggie (Margaret), Millie (Millicent) and the late Tony (UK)

It is difficult.
There is no surname or age for Tony in the obituary which is understandable.
It would be interesting to know if other siblings’ obituaries mentioned him.
Are you in contact with descendants of those siblings?

Hi  heywood,
unfortunately no I'm not .. but once I get a subscription to myheritage I  will try and make contact.. my material grandmother did not allow us to have contact with her family in England which made and makes it difficult,  Tony is the only one that there is hardly any information on ...

Why doesn't it mention the late Frank Walter?
Doris Emily died 8 May 1991 in New Zealand
Husband Albert died 1976 in Auckland, NZ. Probate for him, a short military will from 1942, plus pages of related stuff.

When did Doris die and what did her death notice say about Tony

Doris died on May 8 1991

There is a Margaret Brett at 167

Free index to 1939 Register has her as Andrew Ada Brett, born 1881

Post war electoral registers, same address (165 Pullen's Bdgs)

1948 has Ada Brett—Andrews, Frances Andrews, Joyce Andrews, Margaret Brett listed there.
Ada not on 1949

You didn’t answer this 

This man’s birth (on death) is shown as June 1928
If I have the right Brett lady who you believe to be mother, the time line is:
Marriage September quarter 1928
Female child born December quarter 1928.

It doesn’t seem to work out.
