BILLINGTON Thomas Head ....Preston 8e 631

Sorry Thomas Head Billington was married to ALICE Willan not Anne!!
Now gotta see if I can confirm Thomas Heads father Richards details and his marraige details and see if I can get back futher! Thanks all!! xxx

Flick - thank u! I knew that her name was Freda but didnt know her last name. Someone also very kindly pm'd me the details.They had one child My Auntie Jan - Janeth Billington. I know my grandad was born in Preston. His dad was called Thomas Head Billington (always thought 'Head' was a strange middle name-but my dad remembers this clearly as his grandads middle name!) Thomas Head was married to Anne Willan. I have some info on Thomas Head including some of his brothers & sisters names. (Harold amongst others). I believe was an engineer. Thomas Heads dad was called Richard. He was I believe married to a Mary but am not sure of Marys maiden name or Richards dads name. All interesting stuff!! I am happily losing hours researching and loving every minute of it!! xxxxxxxxxx

I'll leave you to find Freda's birth registration.......much more rewarding for you to find it yourself.

Happy hunting

Assuming he married where he was born...........?????

Have PMd Sarah the marriage details.

Hi I just wondered if anyone can help me at all? I am trying to find a marriage certicicate for a Thomas Walter Billington and a Marjorie Stella Bishop. Believe it to be around 1947 in Preston (also believe both of them were married beforehand to different people). Unfortunately I have no idea where to begin to find this information. if they had been married before would they have been able to get married in a church? I am in Suffolk so am unable rto get to Preston records office or simular. Any help or suggestions where I could look for this info would be greatly appreciated. I am finding it difficult to understand the links etc to marraige and birth certificates on here as they just seem to give you a number and not alot more info. Confused.com. : 0 (
