trying to find a link between two Stretton
« on: Thursday 27 July 23 11:41 BST (UK) »
Hi all. have been challenged by my sister to find a link between her mother in-law Rita Stretton b.1938 and Raymond Stretton b.1917.Rita`s family runs Ernest b.1911, William b.1915,William b.1834,Joseph b.1811. I have had a good look at ancestry but can't see any connection, was hoping that perhaps someone on hear with a closer tie to Leicester information and with more skill than I possess might be able to help us out and find a link.
many thanks in advance
Ian

First if anyone mentioned is still alive you need to remove their names.

Looks like Corrine's father was Raymond

Mil’s parents were Ernest Walter Stretton & Kathleen M Minard m 1933

Raymonds were Herbert Stretton & Annie Bond m 1915

It would help if you told us why you think there could be a connection?

Hi  Carole. Thank you for replying. I think it is more of a hope by my sister as she is a godmother to a living Stretton who has very little contact with her family ( not even knowing where her father now lives) and only just made the connection with the surnames and believe both families have a connection to the same area of Leicester

Both the 1911 census & the 1939 register have over 300 entries in Leics for the surname Stretton so not an uncommon surname. 

Without more info - it’s difficult to establish any connection.

You have a typo in your request Ernest 1911, William 1915 ? then William 1834.

William 1915 cannot be the father of Ernest 1911
