there is no Thomas Marr on Ancestry with death 1965 +/- 5 years who is anywhere near in his 20s, youngest in 50s

are you sure about name, spelling, date of death etc etc, remember that memories can play tricks and things that happen in the past can seem more recent to us than they actually are

Have you tried looking at newspapers of the time for funeral notice? They can give you much information. The local library (Easington) should have them. He may have died elsewhere but funeral service in Easington.

The only Marr to die in that time frame aged in his 20s was Robert L. at Greenwich.

Lynn,

Please contact me urgently, I think we are looking for the same man! The only death I can find for the timescale is a 21 year old Thomas Marr in Liverpool. I having been searching for information for a long time now.

PLEASE HELP! I have tried in vain for nearly two years to find this man - Thomas Marr (Tommy). He came from Easington, Co Durham but died in a motorcylce accident in 1966/7. This is the only record I can find (remotely near)br>
HELP required! Thomas Marr

I am trying to trace a death of a Thomas (Tommy) Marr from Easington, Co Durham in either 1966 or 1967. I am told that he died in a motorcycle accident but I cannot find any record of this anywhere. He will of only been late teens or early twenties.

DEATH..

YEAR .. 1966
QUARTER .. Jan-Feb-Mar
Thomas MARR 21yrs
DISTRICT .. Liverpool
Vol. .. 8b
Page .. 115

As you can see though it states Liverpool??? If anyone can find a birth on this man, a marriage or children maybe. Or even info on his parents and siblings you have no idea how happy and relieved I will be. Thank you in advance.

I URGE YOU TO CONTACT ME URGENTLY PLEASE!

Hi Anne Marie,

As it's been over 12 months since Lynn posted this message, it would be better for you to click on her name and send your message that way. If she still has the same email address, she will be notified. Hope you get through to her. Regards. Cx
