Dawny_dear Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I'm looking for any help regarding Florent Leon Puinot (Purnot in some documents-likely transcription error). He married Dorothy Harrison in 1943 when they were living in the Crookes area. Other than this I have little to go on. He changed his name to Anthony Peter Wentworth around 1946-48 but nobody knows why. There is some suggestion that he was originally from London but nothing confirmed. Any help gratefully received Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawny_dear Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 Thank you I already have this info but I am stuck once I get to his parents and tracing back further. I strongly suspect I need to look abroad but don't have the facility to do that currently. I suppose I was hoping someone local might have known him enough to supply a few clues, like why he changed his name for instance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
