Thanks all. Yes, I have the information all given already, but thank you, as its good to have a second pair of eyes come up with the same information to confirm my details are correct. Much appreciated.
My Great Granddad (Francis McGurk) married Elizabeth Ann Ashcroft nee Bell formerly Todd (first Hubby died) Francis and Elizabeth married in 1918 and had my Granddad in 1922.
She said she was widowed, clearly not as Aaron SNR was alive until 1955 and my Francis McGurk said Bachelor but he was previously married, with a son and his wife didnt die until later on to.
Im interested in descendants of young Aaron 1908. He seems to have vanished.
Family of Ashcrofts I had contact with years ago told me children were Isabella, JOHN/JACKIE Catherine and Adeline Ashcroft not an Aaron but yes, Aaron has come up in my Francis McGurk ( under McYurk transcript error) and I have his birth certificate to confirm Aaron 1908 Parents Aaron and Elizabeth Ann.
Im thinking possibly Aaron changed his name to John as in 1930 Electoral roll an Isabella Ashcroft and a John Ashcroft are with my Elizabeth Ann Sothern, yep, now married a Myles Sothern (yep, 4 marriages)
Im interested in Aaron/John/Jackie, as a person who is a DNA link to my Mum and I, they are rather close DNA and could pass as a sibling in looks to be honest.
John/Jackie Ashcroft was a Policeman maybe London married with two kids.
Persons Father is not listed on their birth certificate.
Name she was given as a Father was a Patrick/Paddy Sothern but he doesnt seem to exist either and even if Myles and Elizabeth Ann now Sothern had a child he would be to young to be this persons Father.
The only person I can think of being her real Father is Aaron/John/Jackie Ashcroft as my Granddads brothers both died well before.
Who ever Im looking for would be born between 1900-1915.
Worked in Hastings Sussex at an Amusement Park arcade for a year or so and a Special Constable directing traffic.
He possibly went to Liverpool and became a Policeman around 1949. (why Im looking for John/Jackie Ashcroft as date of birth and Occupation fit, I know Liverpool and London two different places but one could have been told wrong)
DNA suggests born Gateshead/Durham/Yorkshire and thats where my Granddads side are from.
Any suggestions where to look? Sorry very long and convoluted..
