I am awaiting a reply from a message I have sent to a lady who has same people in her tree on ancestry

Right, I see - I was puzzled as to why you'd asked for help but if you've just upgraded it now makes sense.

Yes I upgraded today...... thought it best as I have a lot of distant family abroad

Mark - do you have worldwide Ancestry access?

I haven't posted any of their names as living ...

No, just curious because I didn't come across them.

Didn't realise you already had worldwide access.

I found on ancestry - not taken from anyone's tree before anyone ask's

Mark, where are you finding the records?

Thank you for your help

Looked on freebmd and found Dorothy 1928 Bolton

Thomas was a painter for Don C Becker & Sons

No mention of Dorothy

I'm puzzled as to why you thought she'd never married when, apart from the detail I posted above, the marriage is on FreeBMD:

Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Mar 1922
Barford Mary Crompton Leigh 8c 269
CROMPTON Thomas Barford Leigh 8c 269

You can also find Dorothy's birth on there and that of a possible sister.
