I am trying to find a direct relation to the above, his father was Harry C Eastwood born in Burwash Sussex 1897 His Mother was Eliza J Beale ,they were married in Greenwhich in sep 1920 Douglas married Irene Burrows but they had no children. I have some photographs of Douglas and would like to return tem to the family if possible.
I beleive he was an only child but a cousin was best man at his wedding, I am making my headache trying to solve this I do not want to destroy these pics :-)

this is his birth
Name: Douglas E B Eastwood Mother's Maiden Surname: Beale Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1924 Registration district: Greenwich Inferred County: Greater London Volume Number: 1d Page Number: 1518
when I did not see a death record in the index I looked at the CWGC site ... you probably know this of course but for the info of anyone who might help
http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=2113193
Name: EASTWOOD, DOUGLAS EDWARD BEALE Initials: D E B Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Leading Aircraftman Regiment/Service: Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve Age: 23 Date of Death: 09/08/1947 Service No: 1891076 Additional information: Son of Harry Charles and Dorothy Eastwood, of Richmond, Surrey; husband of Irene Eastwood, of Islington, London. Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: 6. D. 8. Cemetery: FAYID WAR CEMETERY
Name: Irene Burrows Spouse Surname: Eastwood Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1945 Registration district: Wigan Inferred County: Lancashire Volume Number: 8c Page Number: 15
very probably Irene remarried but the name is too common to identify a marriage

Harry's wife is shown as Dorothy on the CWGC record ... he had remarried ? but I don't see a second marriage
Harry is shown as Harry C E on the marriage but he is this Harry ?
Births Mar 1897 ( possibly born late 1896 ) Eastwood Harry Charles A Ticehurst
Name: Harry C A Eastwood Birth Date: abt 1896 Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1961 Age at Death: 65 Registration district: Surrey North Eastern Inferred County: Surrey Volume: 5g Page: 664
he is probably in two trees at this site ... 'search trees' is always the first thing to do here as jax says
Harry Eastwood 1897 Burwash Sussex Engla... Harry Eastwood 1896 Sussex, England
this is most probably Eliza ?
Births Dec 1897 Beale Eliza Jane S. Stoneham 2c 52
and that birth matches this death
Name: Eliza Jane Eastwood Birth Date: 27 Aug 1897 Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1978 Age at Death: 80 Registration district: Chiltern & Beaconsfield Inferred County: Buckinghamshire Volume: 19 Page: 1170
possibly Harry and Eliza were estranged before Douglas's death
the parents' death certificates could be signed by a familiy member but the information would be long out of date now ...

Eliza in the 1911 census
BEALE ELIZA J 1898 13 South Stoneham Hampshire
BEALE WILLIAM 1854 57 BEALE ELIZA 1856 55 BEALE WILLIAM J 1887 24 BEALE CONSTANCE J 1895 16 BEALE ELIZA J 1898 13 BEALE EDITH DOWLE 1901 10
Harry in the 1911 census
EASTWOOD HARRY CHARLES EDWARD 1897 14 Ticehurst Sussex
he doesn't seem to be with his family but this is the household in 1901 in Burwash Sussex
George Eastwood 30 Elizabeth Eastwood 29 Lily Eastwood 8 Frederick Eastwood 5 Harry Eastwood 4 Agnes Eastwood 2
living with George and Elizabeth in Burwash in 1901 are
EASTWOOD ALBERT 1901 10 EASTWOOD EARNEST 1905 6 ( Ernest Cecil 1905 Ticehurst ) EASTWOOD FREDERICK 1896 15 EASTWOOD REGEE 1908 3 ( Reginald 1907 Ticehurst )
these are all names you can search trees for to find relations of Harry's and Eliza's brothers and sisters ... their children would have been Douglas's cousins
