I would be grateful if someone could help me with the above.
Thomas Woan was born about 1910 in Preston lLancashire and married Ethel Harrison born about the same time also in Preston in 1934 at St Mary’s church, Preston but who were Thomas and Ethel’s parents.
There are several Thomas’s born about the same time and unfortunately none of the have a second Christian name which would be helpful.
Many thanks.
