Whitby Yorkshire England
I am posting this for a patron looking for a Duxbury relative.
I have tried every way to get the details of Peter Gordon Duxbury with no success. I only manage email now, at 97 yo cannot use searching on the internet or send more joining fees for further help. Trying to view census records was not possible because of time limits. I need proof of factsI have collected over the years ie _ soldiers wills.
Duxbury investigating the Turkish Baths in East Sussex, believed he was photographed being presented to the Queen, and that he was fostered and grew up in Cornwall. (no names) and they were only stories from a younger sister who died in 1991 and they were only rumours. (mother of Peter, Emily Duxbury died Whitby, Yorkshire in 1990) after years in USA returned to Whitby, near her sister for a relationship.
I hope there will be answers because I am finished searching now, just hopenews pops up on my screen in the future and I will be overjoyed.Emily Duxbury a female lived in Barkleys, Leeds 11 until 1939,
She broke from family and went to London. And then to Bristol in Gloucestershire where her son Peter Gordon Duxbury was born in 1940. I know he was fostered, never adopted. No name of foster family where he grew up.
Emily went to America and I know she came back to live near her sister Grace in Whitby.
She lived in an hotel and died there in 1990 she did not die in USA. The son Peter b 1940 - 1996 grew up in Cornwall then Blanc and died 22/9/1996 in Brighton East Sussex but was buried in Cornwall in 1996 I need his marriage, occupation and cause of his early death to write or family story and have hit a brick wall.
Please help with Census.

Elizabeth Duxbury has raised this issue again, at
As expected, @Ashlee C. has now removed Elizabeth's email address. If you have retained this, perhaps you would kindly pass my comments on to her, as she seems to be having difficulty in getting back to the forum to read any responses.

Thank you Paul for your information. I am new to this community group. At 97 years of age, agree it would be best if I get my daughter to help me.

Regarding Peter Gordon Duxbury, the FamilySearch Results page at https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results?q.anyDate.from=1940&q.anyDate.to=1996&q.anyPlace=England%2C%20United%20Kingdom&q.anyPlace.exact=on&q.givenName=peter%20g%2A&q.givenName.exact=on&q.surname=duxbury&q.surname.exact=on probably contains details of all his birth, marriage and death / burial events.
The events that match (from the information provided) are his birth, death and burial. Unfortunately, there were other individuals named Peter G Duxbury, born between 1952 and 1960 - any of whom could be a match for the marriages shown: 1976 at Colchester and two in 1982 - at Chelmsford and Blackburn.
If you can identify which of these marriages relates to Peter Gordon Duxbury, a copy marriage certificate can be obtained by visiting the GRO website at https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/. When ordering, you will need to provide a reference number - as an example, for the Peter G Duxbury who married at Blackburn you would need to quote the registration area (Blackburn), period (March 1982), volume and page number (v 40 p 112) and a name of spouse (Hartley). Actually, this detail is more easy to find through the FreeBMD website at https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl.
Regarding Peter's occupation and cause of death, a death certificate can be ordered through the website referenced above.
Unfortunately, with this - as well as the other queries - internet use is needed, both for searches and ordering of documents. I appreciate this would not be easy for a 97 year old person, so I think some outside help will be necessary. Details of the death can be found at https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVZD-DH23, but (unlike marriages) death (and birth) certificate can be ordered from the GRO office directly (through a link), once the event has been found and is on the screen.
@ScottSeegmiller - perhaps you can pass this on to the patron concerned. Usually, her email address would have been hidden (by now) by a moderator, as these are not supposed to appear in Community posts - so please record it quickly in case it suddenly vanishes and there is no route back to the enquirer! I believe she will need the help of a friend / relative in getting hold of the necessary documents and in getting answers to her broader queries, which might take quite some time to look into.
