Military Chat

Amy and Albert did have 2 children one Neville he was killed when he was 6 he was born in Ipswich I think and Phyllis my mother was born in Sutton Bridge Lincs 1931
My mother was married twice and recently passed away aged 88

I cannot thank you all enough for your help
I wished I had carried on while my mum was still here

I know there will be more help I will require and may call upon you all again if I may

Im a little confused about the daughter Janet Susan Buck why her surname is buck not Round or Smith

Buck was her married name. The record posted by ErikaH is her death record.

She married in Leeds in 1969.

Before marriage her name was Round.

You say that Albert and Amy had two children.

If you search on FreeBMD for births with surname Round, and mother's surname Whiting, you will see there were three children, as I said before.

The third one's name was Daphne - but I can't see any records apart from her birth.

Sorry, I assumed you’d understand about Janet’s name - I told you she’d married - and when - so you could look it up yourself.

You say he joined up in 1921 - he would have been only 16

There's no marriage in England/Wales for Round to Daphne J, so could this be relevant - albeit with very inaccurate birth year.

Perhaps she was one who fibbed about her age
