Julie
Do you know his actual birth date ? This could help find his death if it was after 1966 as it is listed in the index

I did find a William Newland (his stepfathers surname) who died Barnet Herts (the pub connection) in Oct 1984 aged 92. His birth date was given as 30/1/1892 which fits with the registration of WGT in Farnham in Mar Quarter of 1892
But it is only worth spending money on if that birth date matches your knowledge
As for his WW2 record -would he not have been too old -47 when it started?

He sounds like such a character changing his name, I wonder if he had a criminal record ?

Julie

Julie Report 24 Jul 2010 12:45

He married great grandma - Blanche Violet Baker in 1915
Infomation from Marriage cert -

13th October 1915 Portsmouth
William George Trice/ 23 years/ Bachelor/ Bombardier R.F.A/
54 Elm Road Llile End/ His Fathers Name William George Trice deceased/Profession Sergent Major O.S.C

Had my nan in 1922 (Joan Trice)
That puts his date of birth in 1892

I just found this doing a google search

http://www.military-genealogy.com/nameShow?war=1&sid=498548

William Newland Baker


The information about the person below comes from the 'Soldiers Died in the Great War 1914 to 1919' database, a service provided by The Naval & Military Press through the Military-Genealogy.com web site

He cant of died in the war as the family did see him

But the names used are kinda what we are looking for. I wonder .....

Julie

Julie Report 24 Jul 2010 14:44

Do you think I should send for the cert then of William Newland ?(the stepfathers surname)

who died Barnet Herts (the pub connection) in Oct 1984 aged 92. 30/1/1892 which fits with the registration of WGT in Farnham in Mar Quarter of 1892

Not unless you can confirm the actual date of birth (by sending for his birth cert if you do not already know it)

Julie

Julie Report 25 Jul 2010 11:52

I only have the dates from the marriage cert so I will send off for the Birth, once it arrives I will send for the death.
I wish that my Nan was alive to find out what happened to her father, sadly she died in January.

A 70 year mystery could be a week away from being solved, thank you Gillian for all your time and help, you are a credit to Genes Reunited!

I wonder who the informant of death will be maybe a half brother or sister to my Nan?
I cant wait to see..........

Julie

Julie Report 26 Jul 2010 23:22

I been told that the "William Newland" was born and Married in Hitchin
So we we maybe back to square one

GillianMac

GillianMac Report 27 Jul 2010 19:36

OK but it is still worth getting his birth cert to see if his actual date of birth is given -then if you post it here we could search with that info for any William George who died with that date of birth
