. Margaret J Symons .1936 mar qt Plymouth mother Patey gro ref 5b 324.

You really need to check if this is her. Surely your grandmother will tell you when and where she was born?and her fathers name. You really cant go on guessing without further proof. There are lots of Gammon bmds in Barnstaple

The census info I gave for Lillie Symons step dau. Georgeham is her place of birth
They are living Rock Hill in the parish of Georgeham Barnstaple

Shane
the Walter Symons I gave you on the census MIGHT not be yours. I gave it to you because I saw it on the census image. Just keep it in mind till you get further info.
You are correct it could POSSIBLY your gran Margaret J Gammons grandfather. This is where you need to get certs to verify. As for Margaret born c1935 I will take a look. I didnt know her age so couldnt check before

I think Kate Gammon a member may be his daughter also an Alan Gammon both from Barnstaple. They maybe my step uncle and aunt. Looks like I might find alot out about my grandad.

Battenburg Report 8 Sep 2008 05:04

Gordon was born 20th dec 1927. He would therefore be registered in 1928 the mar qt but his date of birth will still be 1927. You have 6 weeks to register a birth Being as it was near to Christmas the family would wait till after Christmas

If you get Gordons death cert the informant might be a relative

Yep that looks like him Looking for a marriage for Gammon and Huxtable

Shane

Shane Report 8 Sep 2008 05:01

So If my grandad has died Gordon Gammon how do I do about finding out where he is buried where he died. As he may have left letters with his willing for his kids... he could even have another family

Shane

Shane Report 8 Sep 2008 04:57

u sure 1928 barnstaple as it says on death 1927

Shane

Shane Report 8 Sep 2008 04:56

the dates sound right for that to be my nan and grandads married as my dad was born there not long after...

So that must be my grandad.

Shane Report 8 Sep 2008 04:53

If gordon gammon has died, that was my grandad which is disappointing as I could have met him as I was 15 how sad.

So I know when he married, I know when he died. can I find out where he was born at all
