Find Ancestors

This is the trouble, all the information I have seems to be a bit too vague, not enough to piece it together so as to be sure about it. I also found a WW11 hospital entry for a Harold Jenkins born appx 1908, this Harold was in the RAF, just not enough detail to go on.

Hannah may have been a daughter, or his sister. Or nothing at all to do with it.

Thank you Mary.

there are 3 harold jenkins killed in the 2nd world war

Thanks Malyon, where did you get that information from, I thought we couldn't get those records yet.

The hospital entry I found had very limited information, didn't say whether he died or not. Didn't actually say much at all.

ALL WW1 and WW2 combat deaths are on the CWGC site - plus civilian WW2 casualties

Thank you Erika that’s good to know, didn’t know that.

deborah i got the deaths in war on here go to search the armed forces and conflick best look on cwgc site more information on there

Hi Malyon, thank you, I hadn’t heard of it before, very interesting and one for my favourites.

Thank you AG, I am still studying all this at the moment, many thanks.

Harold Jenkins is such a common name - what evidence do you have to suggest that anyone of the name is connected to your family?

None, am trying to rule him in or out, and I don’t think he is a relation now after reading all the replies, it’s to do with my other long post regarding the Potter/Jenkins step family.
