Hi Listers It's been a long time since I've posted anything but here goes.. Does anyone have any connections to or know anything about the family of SARAH JANE OAKES, born around 1891 (father, Alfred) who married JOHN TOMLINSON, from Moulton, born 1891 (father Isaac) at OVER ST JOHN'S in November 1912? Any info would be of interest as I am curious as to what happened to John, who was the cousin of my great-grandfather of the same name. Thanks in advance Best wishes Michelle

The only John Tomlinson who died in Cheshire who appears to fit is a John Tomlinson whose death was recorded at Crewe in the July-Sep quarter of 1961, aged 71. It looks from FreeBMD as if they had two children: Leslie Tomlinson, born at Northwich in the June quarter of 1913, and Reggie Tomlinson, born also at Northwich in the March quarter of 1920, the mother's maiden name being Oakes in both cases. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Famous family trees blog: http://blog.findmypast.co.uk/tag/roy-stockdill/ "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
