Australia is the Melanoma capital of the world ( a nice record ) not, but thanks anyway
sorry about your Dad but (((((hugs)))) for your Mum, I sent of for Ivor's Death Certificate yesterday it will take 2 or 3 weeks to get here
Stay strong
xox <3

ah, melanoma. My dad was dying of it when a heart problem he didn't know about took him :-(

But his was internal and just some fluke it seems, but it was everywhere before he even knew. Bizarrely, my brother had a melanoma on his leg the next year, but it was caught in time. Fingers crossed for your fella too.

My mum has every skin cancer under the sun (groan) except melanoma. They just keep digging and cutting each new bit, seems like a deeper hole with each one that comes along, but she gets patched up and trundles along. But their stories remind us to cover up at this time of year. <3

Thank you again, his name is/was Ivor Schofied born Grimsby 1925-1951 . His wife was Olwen Hilda Palmer is also death. She remarried.. I have a tree on Ancestry.com I went into it for the first time in months . there was a " leaf" over his name which when I went to check was the Probate papers Ivor died in an air crash I believe, but will wait for the G R O certificate for profe

Sorry to hear of the " set back " they do come. OH has had the first layer of his scull scraped of so we live in hope , just as most do suffering for Melanoma xox <3

Sheila when you say you have "more information on Ivor" does this mean you have had a previous thread about him?

also you may want to proofread and edit your subject line

you have SCHOLFIED but the name is SCHOFIELD

so it would be wise to correct the spelling in the subject line so that anyone who searches for the name will actually find your thread ... the spelling of names really is about the most important thing in a query

also, you asked about putting a question on the Military board ... I would suggest if you do it (since it is a specialized board and sometimes people with that expertise don't see other threads here), absolutely include a link to this thread so no one duplicates research

as far as I know, his military records would be available only to his direct descendants


ah ... you would qualify

(and I hope you are doing well ... my tall dude had the same misfortune a year later and has recently had some setback ...)


here is where the info is about applying for military records ... money and months of waiting are involved:

Really !!!! I have just seen that there is a Military Thread . I could ask about the R A F side of Ivor on there ???? could I

For some reason his death is missing from FreeBMD. Found it on Ancestry.

My Heritage says he had one child.

I now have more information on Ivor thanks to Ancestry . He married Olwen Hilda Palmer in the Dec; quarter of 1948 . Ivor died in a plane crash in 1951 he was in the R A F . Please I would like to find out if Ivor & Olwen had a child & is Olwen still alive and remarry.
