Hogg Mystery
« on: Wednesday 13 September 06 19:35 BST (UK) » |

Hi all
My G G Uncle Surtees Hogg was born 1908 in Gateshead.
He married my G G Aunt who's name was Florence.
Surtees and Florence (or Florrie as we knew her) moved to London and Surtees was in the Army during ww2
He was captured by the Japanese and tortured...they ripped out all his finger and toe nails, and after more torture, disembowled him.
My G G Aunt wrote to my Nan to inform her of his death, and the circumstances, obvously devestated, and it was spoke of all through my mothers childhood and my own.
The problem is, I can find no record of there Marriage, nor a record of his death on the CWGC.
I need this as I am not sure whether she was an Aunt through my G Grans side or G Grandads side.
I have tried to search for Florences borth, and typically, both surnames I am researching, Davey and Rothery, have a Florence!
Can anyone help..I have searched NA, Durham Records Online, County Durham Registrars, and all to no avail, even Ancestry s giving me false results, and I don't know where else to go.
Many Thanks
Colleen

Hi Helen,
This never occurred to me before now!
I did search the GRO index, on Ancestry but lots were missing pages....this has certainly shed new light...trust me there is only 2 Surtees Hoggs, and this has to be one of them.
Many Many Thanks
Colleen
