hi patrick
i thought everyone had forgotten me, many thanks for the reply, right let me see i think the dates you gave were slightly too early, as my mother was born in 1920 and that was in broughton lancs, so they must have gone there after that that, on their death certs, which arthurs bertie astons is the new strand inn, the same address of course, he died there in 1941, which is reported on his death cert, his son was present at the death, who was arthur v. aston,(i wish i could find him as well). sorry arthur b died in nobles hospital, douglas. but i assume his wife was still there as she didn,t pass on till 1949. her son reporting the death again, which was at 4 laureston grove, so i still feel that somebody must of known them? is it possible to look a bit futher on? many many thanks for your interest, gill
