Hi Everyone I have very little information and she doesn't have a birth cert.
I was told just now. my son in law's name is wilkes and his father is ken.
his brother is Robert married to Reta no dates
His mothers sister is Shirley marsh artist and husband clifford.
The story is that there are irish roots and that he was under protection and had to leave ireland this is Robert Baseley ?
sorry I do not have any other facts and information, you are all so kind and supportive to us seekers I really value you all
THANK YOU EVERYONE

No Wilkes-Baseley marriage, but a Kenneth F Wilkes married a Judith M Jones in 1959 in Cannock, does this sound right to you?

NB this bride ties in with the birth of a Jones daughter MMN Baseley in 1941, same middle initial as the bride.

Can you please confirm whether the Isaac that Alice Mary married was a
Baseley or a Jones. it looks to me like Mary Alice was the Baseley, and Isaac the Jones. Thanks. :-)

Susan,

If you stand back and have a think about it, you could give us an awful lot more information....

You don't have to give personal details of 'living people' but you keep saying that you have no dates??

You could at least say if your son-in-law was born c 1980 or c 1940 ??

Possible area??

His father Ken Wilkes would have been born e.g. c 1970 or c 1890 ??? etc !

Do you know Ken's wife's name? - You seem to know that her sister was a 'Shirley Marsh' - so does this mean that his mother's name was Marsh, or had Shirley married etc......

Please sit down and write out what you have and let us know the details - you have more info than you think.

Good find!

5ft 7 1/2 in Blue eyes, brown hair, fresh complexion, 127 lb, a miner.

Finding it hard to read the writing. Wonder if he served in Ireland at all, and whether that might be the root of the family story.

It confirms that his father was also Robert, and it also confirms the marriage to Ruth Potts, 25/10/1908 St Luke's Church, Cannock

Also children
