Graham Whittaker born c1939 I think married to Edna. Edna would be my cousin who I don't even think she knows about. Edna's mother Edna M was my father's sister. My father was Ronald Raistrick and his mother and father were Catherine Howley Raistrick (nee Unsworth and Lambert, her first married name) born in Bolton 1891c and Henry Raistrick born in Yorkshire I believe.Catherine also had 2 daughters from her first marriage (her first husband John Lambert died) Annie and Lillian Lambert. I do know that Edna (her husband was John Stansfield) died in her 20's from I think (so my Dad told me) TB but had a child (Edna M Stansfield,) who then stayed living with her father and family. My father Ronnie didn't know much about his sister death as he was only about 10 at the time but when my dad married my mum Doreen, their first born daughter (my sister) was named Doreen Edna, after both my mum and Ronnie's deceased sister.

If anybody knows Graham Whittaker who I suspect died last year, pls let me know,
Many thanks
Catherine

Maybe the district will be a clue

However if he died last year then the records will still be at the local register office to where he died

Thanks for the info Shirley. Well I checked on 192.com and from there, (I haven't paid a sub to them yet) it says on the 2007 electoral roll that living together in Lancashire was graham and edna m and then on the 2008 it just says edna m only so I'm presuming he's died or maybe he is in a nursing home somewhere which is a big possibilty so he could still be alive! I've no idea where Graham was born but Edna was born c1939 in Ashton in Lancs so the dates tie up with him being just a little older perhaps when they married.
Thing is if you don't pay a sub then they won't tell you the address and phone nbr! Obviously I'm desperate to contact Edna and trying to find all ways of finding her.
