Find Ancestors

thank you

Fingers crossed that they will be able (and willing) to help you.

It doesn't answer all of your questions, in that the informant wasn't related, but at least it seems like you've got the right man.

If the care home are able to give you the address at which he lived before moving there, you could check the Electoral Roll at the local main library, and see if you can find him. ER's of that time are searchable only by address

hi jacqueline, thanks for your advice i acted on it and recieved the death certificate today, i am sure it is him his occupation is listed as retired kitchen porter, and address franklin house west drayton which is a care home, the name of the informant was anne gallagher qualification occupier i have emailed the home and will wait and see, johanna died a while ago and i would not be doing this if she were still alive because of her feelings

He would have kept the same number only if his service was continuous, and with the same Corps/Regiment.

To get a copy of his WW2 records, the applicant would have to be able to show that he/she is his NOK, and may be asked to prove he is deceased.

I can't think Johanna is alive, but if she is, and he didn't re-marry, she could apply and there would be no charge

Otherwise, the cost is £30.00. Your mother would have to be the one to apply

Not that his WW2 records will help with your quest, which is to find what he did and where he was after 1961.

You NEED that death cert......................the sooner you get it, the sooner you'll have an answer

If you know he served in WW2, I think your Mum can apply for his records. Not too sure about the rules for that but I'm sure another helper with more knowledge on that will tell us.

thank you, have his army no for 1928, but no records for ww2 i thought you kept the same number

The marriage certificate will only say he's divorced if he gave that as his marital status. If the certificate gives his father's details that match those of your Stanley, you'll know if it is the right man.

also a stanley j fletcher comes up on the electrol roll around the dates for barons court getting confused

was not sure if it was him in 1961, my mum did not know much even if he was still alive after the late fourties,for years, nobody would tell her, i will have to buy the certificate will it say if he is divorced ?

Very few divorce records have survived for England and Wales I believe.

You would probably have to buy that marriage certificate to see if it is your Stanley.

So you knew when you posted that he was in London in 1961......................

i wondered that but i cannot find out if they divorced

As your Grandparents married in Wiltshire, I wonder if Stanley remarried?

Marriages Dec 1947

Fletcher Stanley J Low Salisbury 7c 1261
Low Doris M Futcher Salisbury 7c 1261

thanks i e mailed them last week and they confirmed that he worked there from 59-61 and left of his own accord and they had no information on where he went

During the 1960s it was just known as the Cavalry Club- it didn't merge with the Guards until 1976.

There is a Stanley J Fletcher on the electoral register (listed under staff) at the Cavalry Club (125/127 Piccadilly) in 1961.

From your postings on the other site

still searching, have found out that he worked in a hotel in cadogan place chelsea before the war, and then after the war from the late fifties until the early sixties at the calverley
club in piccadilly just hoping to find any other family members.

By googling........I found the correct name for the Club

Cavalry and Guards Club
www.cavgdsclub.co.uk/
The Cavalry and Guards Club represents history, tradition, timeless elegance and quiet efficiency plus that all important personal touch.

127 Piccadilly, London W1J 7PX
020 7499 1261

It would probably be a good idea to obtain a copy of the death cert. The informant's details may prove useful
