Ian Report 18 Nov 2011 13:08

Hi i am trying to find birth and family details for a Gerald William Fox
Gerald married Hannah Morris in 1917 St Cuthberts, Gateshead
aged 29
occ Draper living at 3 St James Street Newcastle on Tyne I have checked this was a draper shop
Hannah Morris was from Gateshead
Geralds father is given as William Fox occ fitter (deceased)

Gerald Williams death is given as died 1947 Darlington born abt 1888

I have checked but cannot find any cenus record details for Gerald
I have checked UK, Scotland, Ireland, with no luck so far.

Led to believe there could possible be a family connection to Canada?

Please can you help
