On Ancestry family trees there is a Gladys Lydia Bossett born 1912 in London died 1999 in Wales...could there be a Welsh connection ?

I have just been reading that he was possibly born in Guernsey so I have put a request look up on the Channel Islands Boards on Rootschat.

Hope you don't mind, will let you know when I hear anything.

Bossett Leonard C Haine Camberwell 1d 1342

This looks like a child to Albert and Elsie.

October/December 1921

Leonard C Bossett mothers maiden name Haine
Camberwell 1d 1342? (the GRO reference is not very clear on Ancestry).

Paula,

I think this could be a possible second marriage for Albert.

October/Dec 1920
Albert C Bossett to Elsie G I Haine
Camberwell 1d 1963

I will check to see if there are any children to the union.

LL

Im good thank Christine
LL sent it to me
You go out and have fun, Many thanks for your kind help
All the best Paula x x x

Am going out now Paula but will try again tomorrow, not found anything else at the moment.

Do you want the image of the medal card?
If so pm me your email address and I'll send it through.

Christine

HHHMMMMM
Damb yes thats true,
Hell kettle on i need a cuppa!

But ages don't add up as Joseph was only 10 in 1891 so couldn't be Albert's father.

I'll keep looking though so what else I can find

Christine

Oh Christine you little darling
Look YOU'VE DONE IT ,,,,
Charles Bossett aged one is only the younger brother to Joseph Bossett aged ten,,
Must be the same blooming family got to be,,
Charles must be Albert Uncle,
Huge thanks x x x x

I'm just clutching at straws now but wonder if this could be the C Bossett who was a witness.

Wow LL
This is great i'm not a member of Ancestry i did try to gain info from there they came back with newspaper cutting for Albert Bossett 1897 Aug 7th Bristol Times &Mirror, Went to have look at it but as i'm not a member could not gain access to it,
I'm member of Genes and Find my past , so can not afford to join Ancestry as well (think my husband will think i'v flipped if i ask to join another search site)
Its very bizzare how someone who served the country like he did has no record of his birth or death,
Ok many thank's for helping me and stopping me going insane,

Hi LL & Christine
Not sure when Albert died i'v tried every year from the year of the Marriage 1912 till today and found nothing,
Yeas Lydia died very young in Greenwich 1919 Aged just 25, making my nan only 5 when her mum passed away,
can't find any other marriage for Albert after the one to Lydia in 1912,
To be honest its as if he just vanashes into thin air,
No trace of him before the wedding no trace after the wedding except on nan's birth record,
Is this normal?
God he's giving me some hassle.
gggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Managed to find Alberts medal card on Ancestry now. He was awarded the Victory, British and Star medals. His Rank was corporal, 35th HB RGA. Regimental Number 28787.
