Stanley and Olive Blake

[horse]

Hi

I am trying link Stanley and Olive, nee Fitch to my Wright/Durrant line.

Full name was Arthur Stanley Blake, but he was always known as Stanley after 1901, b. Q4 1898 Hull, Yorks.

He married Olive in 1931 (Hull). He is easy to find as Arthur in 1901 and as Stanley in 1911.

Stanley was the beneficiary in the will of Hilda Emily Durrant, nee Wright 1959. Hilda d. in Victoria, Australia. Emigrated in 1958 to be with dau. Louise in Melbourne. Walter, husband of Hilda had presumably d. by 1958.

There were issues with the family in the 1950's (unfortunately not known), but I cannot see a family link between Stanley and the Durrants'

I have very little on Olive Fitch

Any thoughts/ideas most welcome.

Many thanks
Geoff

Thanks, Dave.

Looks like I've concentrated too much on Stanley and not enough on Olive, she must be the link, family coming from the Soham area of Cambs., as did the Durrants'.

Thanks, Dave.

Quite a bit to take in there, will try to make sense of it all later.
