Hi all

Would be really grateful if somebody would be able to help me find info on Winifred Castle (married name)?

Born 1918
Died 2000

Married to Mervyn Gaines Kelston Tobin (b:1914/d:1970)

Children:Raymond,Jennifer,John,Diane,Barry,Robert and Michelle

Lived in Kent, both born Margate I think? Lived in Dover,Kent.

My dad is Barry (but sadly he was fostered as a child, and has never known anything about his family:'( )

Would love to know who Winifred's parents where, any brothers/sisters etc

Any info would fantastic.............................

Thank you to anyone who can help

Are you sure she was born 1918 as the death in 2000 for Winifred Tobin district Thanet gives her dob as 19 Jul 1913 which then matches a birth registered for a Winifred Castle in 1913, Jul/Aug/Sept 1/4, district Thanet, mother maiden name Hills. Winifreds marriage certificate will give fathers name and occ, and her birth certificate will give parents names.

Birth

1913

Winifred Castle
District Thanet
Jul/Aug/Sept 1/4

Mothers maiden name Hills

Hi Julie,

Wasn't sure, but have just spoken to my dad, and he seems to think that they were more or less the same age.

So must be the one (1913).

Will get the marriage cert ordered.

You didn't manage to find a marr date at all did you?

Thanks for your help, as always, much appreciated

Suzanne,

Have you a rough idea when they married, what year was the eldest child born.

Hi Julie

Must have been the 1930's - I think?

My dad was born 1943, and he had older siblings, so would think it was at least mid to late 30's.

Sorry it is very vague, but we have virtually any info here, really are working in the dark.............................

Thanks again Julie, you are star.

I have found a marriage between an Edward castle and a Florence Eva Hills in Thanet.The Reference is Mar 1900 Thanet Vol 2a Page 1285. These look likely to be Winifred's parents
