On an Ancestry tree there's a photo of Charles John's gravestone.

Charles John Tildesley
29/10/1917 - 28/5/2001
Beloved husband to Joyce.
Devoted father to Ian and Gary.
Proud grandfather
Loving great-grandfather
Together with Mum forever.
R I P


The tree gives no documentation re his birth, and I can't see any record of it online.
Ian and Gary's details are private on the tree.

The tree "owner" seems to be from the Churchill branch of the family.


The tree says that Joyce was born on 26 May 1921 - again with no documentary proof, apart from a photo of her gravestone.
Gravestone says she died 14/03/2008.

You say Joyce was born 1905 - have you got the right marriage?????

How do you connect to these people?

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 21 Jun 2023 08:49

You say Charles John was born in St Peters Tempe.

St Peters and Tempe seem to be two separate areas of Sydney.

From Wikipedia:
"The Municipality of St Peters was a local government area of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was originally proclaimed as the Municipal District of St Peters on 13 January 1871. With an area of 4.2 square kilometres, it included the modern suburbs of St Peters, Tempe and Sydenham. The council was amalgamated with the Municipality of Marrickville, along with the Municipality of Petersham, with the passing of the Local Government (Areas) Act 1948, and is now part of the Inner West Council. "

If I'm reading the image of the parish record of the marriage correctly, Charles John was born in St Peters, and Joyce in Tempe.
