Find Ancestors

His RAF service record would only be available to his direct descendants.

If you bought his death certificate perhaps his occupation would give you a clue.

Wow! Thank you all. Would it be possible to fnd out if Philip Holmes was some kind of medic in the RAF?

Hi Jansmith, thanks very much - you are all so clever! :-D

Hi Carol. Which Castle Ward as there are a few. Thanks

Hi, It is in Northumberland.

Not got a clue where Castle Ward is?

Hi, I would really appreciate any information on the above Philip Holmes. His father was W Holmes MRCS but I don't know what the W stands for or what his moter's name was. I found a snippet on line with details of what schools he went to and that he was a Corporal in the RAF 1941-45 possibly in India or Burma. I would like to know if he married or had any children or if he had any siblings that may have had children. Many thanks. :-)
