So from the death that Choccy has posted it's definite that the Palin marriage is wrong and that the other thread is correct IE Dorothy A married Edwards.

Please see the other thread it's overlapping .

Angela's mother, as far as I can tell from Angela's surname and birth, was Josephine born 1945, Tadcaster Towers mmn Towers .

waiting for confirmation that this is Angela's mother's name.

PM received from Angela, who thinks she has probably been following the wrong Dorothy Towers.

Her grandmother apparently died in 1994 in Bradford. Onward and upwards.

Dorothy Towers (born 26th July 1910) married George Yoxall Palin in 1934.

It would not appear that Dorothy Palin re-married in 1947, as she died in 2001, still with the surname Palin.

Thank you for all the help on info. I knew little detail on my mother's side but now it's piecing together nicely however I'm still not sure who my grandfather is. My mother was born 1945 and her mum was married to Mr Palin but when my mother was 2 it looks like she remarried?? So mmm the question is. Who's the daddy.
I have paid for the Gene's reunited site but having trouble understanding some of the lettering and can't find birth for mum or who her dad is...

you sound as if you didnt know your grandmother

how have you worked back on your tree :-)
