You can look for births yourself on freebmd

Can’t look for William in 1939 until you find out when he was born. His age will be on the marriage cert

Think that birth for Kathrine maybe connected to this couple

Marriages Dec 1947
Fromm Katherine Pfendt Nthmbld.W. 1b 1031
Pfendt Helmut Fromm Nthmbld.W. 1b 1031

Did Katherine remarry in 1949 maybe

There is also a female Pitt birth in 1956 with mmn Fromm. She married in Yorkshire in the 1970s. There is a death in the same area for a William ALFRED Pitt in the same area.

You say that you have the birth certificate for the daughter Katherine, yet you have a question mark after her name. Surely if you have the certificate there is no question about her name. Also you have a different spelling for William's wife's name (compared to the marriage index). Is that how her name was given on that birth certificate please? Where did you get William and Katherine / Catherine's middle names please?

So William’s wife’s maiden name was not Pfendt

Accuracy is vital

No place shown in this transcription.



A tree on Ancestry says she was born in August 1920 in Arhus, Denmark, and that she died in 2017 in Stockton-on-Tees.
In spite of that, the "proof" of death shown is the obituary notice I've posted above, for 2016.
Parents unknown to the tree owner.

No proof of birth, other than the obituary. Maybe the actual obituary gives more info if someone can find it in a newspaper?
Can't see anything in the British Newspaper Archive.

EDIT: Having seen Rose's post below, I realise I'd forgotten that the GRO site now has recent deaths!
