Kent Freda Mary - Frome - b 1917
« on: Friday 15 November 24 10:12 GMT (UK) »
Looking for the family line of Freda Kent. Would like to know if Freda had any siblings. Freda's mother was a Butler and again I would like to know her family line, going backwards.

 The wedding information is the icing on the cake. Walter Breeden Kent married Elsie Mary Butler and they had 2 children. Is it possible to find out who the parents of Walter Breeden, born Frome, 1890, were and any siblings.
