Hi All,

Is it possible to trace someone who was in the British army but served in Münster in the 1950s? I have tried to find Alfred walker everywhere as we would love to know how he is doing and more about our long lost family. I know he married a woman called Ursula but don't have a maiden name and I know they had two sons.

If anyone can help with tracing methods or if you might have heard of him, please message. Thanks!

Did Alfred marry Ursula in England or in Münster? If it was in England there is a marriage in 1956 which I will send you in a private message.

Hi!

Firstly, thank you Cynthia for letting me know I had a message. :-D

Second, thank Kath for taking time to look. :-D I'm not sure where they got married but I've narrowed it down to two options, either Münster or Lichfield, Staffordshire. I also know the Ursula was german as he met her over there and brought her back to the UK for a short while. I think they had both of their sons over here in staffordshire but yet again I can't be certain.

Thanks! :-D
