No it’s not a Louisa

Won’t post name as the people are most likely to be still alive

You have asked this before on another thread about the family and told it’s not your Kevin

Caris, that is not your John E, that relates to a John E bn 1947, birth in same general area.

So you need really to get the birth cert for John E born 1941, that will help with finding out if he has died at least as it will give you an exact birthdate to work from, though I can't see a death so he may still be living, I can't see an obvious marriage certainly not in the expected area or eroll entry either.

You can find the registration number for John's birth on freebmd.org.uk and order from the GRO https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

Il try find out when he passed away x

That could be likely sadly as the address on eroll to 2018 (matching with a marriage for a John E in Croydon) was in Bexleyheath.

EDIT so the birthdate on that death doesn't tie in with the birth on freebmd, I had asked Caris if John E bn S Shields had moved to Croydon and she confirmed he had, hence me suggesting this one as possible from marriage in Croydon.

Back to square one.

Yes he lived in croydon I believe can u send me details please. I believe by what um told george and edith had children george john and edith.

Most of my poynter family are deceased now. Was hoping I'd find some living relatives.

No Edward. Not on your file, there's a John bn 1936?

"John married Sarah Maddison WRIGHT [57637] [MRIN: 17001] in Dec 1931 in South Shields, Durham. Sarah was
born on 30 Apr 1910 and died in Dec 1990 in South Shields, Durham aged 80.


Children from this marriage were:
i. Isabella POYNTER [57641]
ii. John POYNTER [57638] was born in Sep 1936 in South Shields, Durham and died in Mar 1938 in
South Shields, Durham aged 1.
iii. George POYNTER [57642

iv. Edith M. POYNTER [57643]
v. Nancy W. POYNTER [57644]
vi. John E. POYNTER [57645]
vii. Mary POYNTER [5

That ties in with what's on freebmd birth wise BUT there are two marriages for a Poynter to Wright , so you need to know which children belong to which marriage

Marriages Jun 1938 (>99%)

Poynter George Wright S.Shields 10a 1717
Wright Edith Poynter S.Shields 10a 1717

Marriages Dec 1931 (>99%)

Poynter John Wright S.Shields 10a 1458
Wright Sarah Poynter S.Shields 10a 1458

Presumably the later John is John Edward?

Caris do you still have the message where someone on here said they had seen a marriage for Sheila to George? It should be in your messages if you have it, i still have yours to me and my replies from 2015.

ArgyllGran my eroll entry for a previous address up to 2008 is age range 51 to 55 ( I was 51 ) , age range up to this year at new address from 2010 to 2019 is 55-59 which is knocking a few years off my actual age lol. So not absolutely accurate.
