Find Ancestors

Born circa 1909 married to Florence Loughman in 1935.He had a daughter Yvonne, who is my mother, and I desperately would like to track down any relatives of my grandfather.
I am trying to contact any living relatives of Henry.
I believe he was a lorry driver, and he had a sister that worked or owned a coffee shop in New Malden Surrey in mid 40s.
He was in the army and served in WW2
Please if you have any news please contact me
Thanks

Did your mother have a brother born two years after her?

Could Henry have gone back to Bristol?

Name: Henry F Stock
Birth Date: abt 1909
Date of Registration: Sep 1968
Age at Death: 59
Registration district: Bristol
Inferred County: Gloucestershire
Volume: 7b
Page: 20

if this was him, the informant on the death cert might be a relative.

There is a lorry driver called Frederick Henry Stock (I realise the names are reversed) living in Evesham in 1950, who appears in the Gloucestershire Echo as being fined for having an insecure load. He is employed by British Railways and his address is given.

It may not be him, but I've pmed you a snip of the article just in case it is.

This would be the lorry driver above who was fined:

So, not him then :-(

Hello Joanne,
Do you have the marriage certificate of Henry and Florence?

If you haven't, I suggest the first step would be to get it- this will give his age, address and father's name. It would make searching for him a little easier, and ensure you are tracing the correct Henry.

You can order it here using the page and volume number:

If you do have the marriage certificate, it would help us if you could post the details.

PM from Joanne -
Thanks for reply
We originally thought was born in Pontypridd but now not so sure as all leads from that area have lead nowehere
he sometimes used name Harry
think father was builder/manual labourer and Henry was def lorry driver
----------------------------------------

Joanne you've marked your thread as answered and unfortunately you can't undo that now. You can however alter the heading - I suggest you put an up to date date and something like further info needed, then type in your request on the thread.

Please keep all replies to the thread Joanne, and on one thread only, so all member helpers can see what you are saying in the hopes we can help further.

As suggested above by AustinQ, you need that marriage certificate for Father's details. You will have to spend a bit of money occasionally to further research.

If or when you have it, please come back to this thread and post ALL the details from it.

thanks new to this so just finding my way

so just a recap we are looking for Henry Frederick Stock born circa 1909 married to Florence Loughman 1935
He was a lorry driver but his family were builders
He had sister who ran/owned a café in New Malden in mid 1940s
We though he was born in Ponytpridd / Pontypool but not known for sure

Did you order the marriage certificate Joanne?

Yes. Just waiting for it to come through. But think just says age not date of birth

Yes, it will hopefully give age, but importantly it will give his father's name to help us find the correct Henry F stock.

I suspect he was the son of Herbert Stock and Florence Clara- as although they were in Bristol in 1911, they both died in Glamorganshire
