I would be grateful if you could help me find the parents of Mary M Bingham. She married Cyril Sweetman in Wandsworth 1945. He was born in 1915. She was probably born around 1920. They had 3 daughters Maureen born1945, Margaret J 1948 and Patricia 1951. Could someone also see when and who the daughters married presumably in the 1970's. Any help much appreciated.

If you purchase the 1945 marriage cert, you will learn the details of her father.........if she knew him, of course. Her declared age will also be recorded

Maureen A
Margaret J
Patricia R

Possible marriage for Maureen in 1966
Ditto Margaret in 1972
Can't see anything likely for Patricia

Can't look for Mary's death without knowing her birth year.

Also, she could easily have re-married.

If she died after 2005, the record won't be on Ancestry

There is a sister in the wedding photo. She looks older. That's all I know. Im pretty sure it will be Mary M Bingham 1922 Lambeth. That's where they all lived.

Would you like me to PM the info re the possible marriages for the two daughters?

If you think this is her birth, you can look on freebmd for the marriage of the parents

There are four siblings - all younger than Mary. Check freebmd
