My Father was Maurice Setchfield of Wisbech and his Mother was Beatrice Garner who married Albert Edward Setchfield.
Does anyone have any old photos of either side of the families that I may get copies of please?
Many thanks in advance

Welcome to genesreunited, Rebecca.

Have you looked to see if anyone on genes has your grandmother in their tree on here, and then attempted to make contact with them?

Have you traced your cousins, and wider relatives, and contacted them for any photos?

Very few people actually read these boards, so it is helpful if you go out looking, not sit waiting for someone to contact you.

Just posting the marriage, for reference:
Marriages Dec 1923
Garner Beatrice Setchfield Wisbech 3b 1422
Setchfield Albert E Garner Wisbech 3b 1422

Welcome to the boards, Rebecca.

It's highly unlikely that any Setchfields or relations will happen to see your post.

If you go to "Search all members trees" under "search" at the top of this page, and enter Maurice Setchfield, you'll see there are several people who have him in their trees (if he was born Wisbech 1933). One of them is probably you.
Have you been in contact with the others? One of them might have something. click on "Find out more" beside their names.

And at least a couple of people have Beatrice in their trees - assuming she was born Wisbech 1912.
