World War Two / Allied P.O.Ws in Germany WW2
« on: Wednesday 22 June 16 05:07 BST (UK)  »
My father was an Australian Soldier captured on Crete in June 1941 and interred in German P.O.W. Camps. He was repatriated to England in April 1945 before being sent home to Australia in June 1945.
I understand that the P.O.W.s were questioned as to their treatment etc. In England.
I paid the U.K. National Archives to have WO 344/21/2 set of records searched, but they said they found nothing. Was I looking at the right set of records?
He was mentioned in dispatches, for several escape attempts, and I was able to download the record of what he actually did, which was digitised, from the National Archives, WO 373/102/752. That record is not in Australia.
Can anyone help with regards to what records am I actually looking for?

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Waggon and Horses Inn Swillington
« on: Tuesday 02 June 15 08:19 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to locate the WAGGON AND HORSES INN at Swillington in the 1840s and 1850s. Joseph Cowburn, who was there in 1845, sold it in 1852. In the newspaper advertisement it was described as being "on the High Road from Leeds to Garforth" Is it still standing? And is there an image of it? Hoping someone can help with this.

England / English Wills after 1858
« on: Monday 26 January 15 08:11 GMT (UK)  »
Has anyone purchased any wills from the English Wills site after 1858? I would like to purchse several. I have the dates of death and dates of probate. I was just reading Peter Calvers lostcousins news letter, and some people have lost their money if they didn't have a folio number. The wills I am interested in don't have a folio number, so I am a bit confused. I was wondering if anyone has used this site, and what their experience was.
