Wasn't sure about that marriage as Martha dies in Welshpool the year after George. Maybe they didn't stay together?

on FMP there's a passenger list to Singapore, 1955, with Mrs Martha Amelia Martin (b.21/04/1911), a child Harold b.1941 and child Philip b.1952. Address is given as 12 Meas-Owen, Welshpool.

Martha's death:

First name(s) MARTHA AMELIA
Last name MARTIN
Gender Female
Birth day 21
Birth month 4
Birth year 1911
Death quarter 3
Death year 1987
District WELSHPOOL & LLANFYLLIN
Register number 987
County Montgomeryshire
Volume 26
Page 279

Harold was the one I thought could be theirs - the unusual name combination for George does suggest he could have married Martha.

Can't spot a Martin/Rimmer 1951 birth

The ones on freebmd suggest at least 2 Martin/Rimmer couples

1941 Welshpool - George + Martha?
1944 Durham E *
1944 Liverpool S **
1946 Durham E*
1949 Liverpool N **
1954 Nottingham ??

* Couple A
** Couple B

Do you have any other information about him Amiaannouck ??

In what way is he connected to you?

It's strange as apart from birth for Harold I don't see any other info for a Harold James William, or a Philip George.

The attestation put up by Glitterbaby earlier states that George re-enlisted in 1958.

Hi thankyou he is my grandfather he did marry my grandmother and yes both boys were there sons tgey adopted my father philip george and indeed they lived in singapore as my grandfather was in the forces, yes my grandmother did pass away in 1987 and they did divorce way before I was born in 1973 I also know my grandfather passed away leomington spa, I have no idea if he has any other family in the area or where he was buried.

Hi pricklyholly he is my grandfather

Well I have just rung the registry ofgice in leamington and they have ssid without an exact date and place of his death thry cant help me any further. :-(

? You can order his death certificate from the GRO using the information (place, volume and page number) Gins put up above. (Cost £9.25):

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp

His death certificate will tell you his address and who registered the death.

Alternatively you could order his birth certificate on the same site to find out his parents- from this you may be able to find if he had any siblings.

removed details

found this birth mother name rimmer its the only phillip g 1951

Yvonne - we've been careful not to post the details of Harold as he is likely to be living - although the Philip reference may be relevant, Philip (adopted surname) Martin is amiaannouck's father!

My grandmother was my father's adopted mum, and my uncle harold has passed away.

Just posting this here to keep all details on the same thread:

Did you order the death certificate?

What address was he living at on the death cert? If it was a residential address (as opposed to a hospital) he may have been buried/ or cremated at the church/ cemetery/ crematorium local to his address.
