Hi. I am trying to trace my great grandmother by going backwards on her blood line . I am looking for the parents of Peter Warner born 1932 who married a Munson in the 1950s in Colchester.

From the free to use site - https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Sep 1957 (>99%)

MUNSON Margaret S Warner Colchester 4a 1297
WARNER Peter F MUNSON Colchester 4a 1297

Could the F be a badly written R

The only Margaret S Munson born within a time to make her approx. age of Peter is in Jun 1938 Lexden RD (also Essex)

There are 3 Peter Warner births in 1932 all with middle initials - the only one with an F (third name) was born Southampton.

Using the GRO site will give you the mmn so you can look for a marriage of parents

What else do you know about Peter Warner.

Buying the marriage certificate would give you his Father's name if he knew it and full names which should show on the GRO site for his birth

Are you sure you have the correct year of birth for Peter?

There were two Peter F Warners born in 1935 - Surrey and Woolwich.

Without further info, you'll probably have to buy a copy of the marriage cert to find out his father's name, and possibly a witness's name may provide a clue.

Or perhaps he wasn't born in England/Wales?
He wasn't born in Scotland.

Peter Frederick Warner born 3/7/1935 died in Croydon

Peter Frederick Warner born 24/3/1928 died in Colchester in 2004

His birth was registered in Lexden (Essex), with MMN Tilley

Frederick W Warner married Phyllis A G Tilley in 1927 in Colchester

2002 ER shows a Peter F Warner in Colchester with a John Warner at the same address, which is very similar to that at which the family are living in 1939

I would C&P, but am using iPad at the moment

When you get a copy of the marriage cert, you will know whether the family above is connected to the man you’re researching

I have been having off-board 'conversations' with Linda, who has asked me to convey the following - with apologies for the delay, due to unavoidable issues.

I cant thank you enough . I have been looking for my great grandmothers mothers name for 25 years and now know where to look because of your searching. I really cant tell you enough what that search means . Thank you so much again
