Hi Maylon,

I’ve been told no, by a family member and I can’t find a marriage registration

I saw that one but it has the wrong date of birth.

As an ex soldier could he have signed up for the second war right at the beginning - if so he wouldn't be on the 1939 as he would be in Barracks.

Hi Maddie,

I looked at that one but can’t connect it...

According to a family member he was estranged from his family and very much a loner

Hi namelessone

I didn’t think of that...

Maddie

Maddie Report 22 Apr 2021 15:05

i think nameslessone is right probably signed up and would not appear on register

I too think your right namelessone.....I thought I’d give him another shot, been searching years, no idea why the force’s hadn’t occurred before....possibly as he was discharged the first time, “unfit to be a solider” due to leg/ankle injury...that could well have mended....

Thank you

Stay safe Misty
