Europe / Dutch Army record after WW2
« on: Thursday 23 November 23 12:22 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find out what the Army record for Albert Wijnveld in the years 1946,1947. He was conscripted at Alkmaar where he served for 2 or 3 years at various posts around Holland. He emigrated to New Zealand in 1952.  I am also interested in if there is any information listed about him as being one of the Dutch forced labourers at various German work camps. In particular about the types of punishments employed when escapees were recaptured. I have some stories that he has told me about his treatment and I cannot find anything to describe what a hole in the ground as punishment was. I know it must have been pretty bad as he ended up with pleurisy and nearly died. This is a genuine enquiry from a daughter trying to piece together her father's life pre emigrating.  I hold no hate or blame for Germans, I would just like some honest answers, no judgement from me will come.

One Name Studies: A to G / Cessford of Lasswade, Scotland
« on: Thursday 07 June 18 09:16 BST (UK)  »
I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction as I have struck problems researching my family member Helen Cessford.  She was born in  Rosewill, Lasswade, Midlothian, Scotland on  15 Jan 1876.  She next appears in Chile in 1898 and then in London in 1907.  Somewhere in this time frame she met Alfred Vinals and possibly married him,  I cannot find any shipping records for her or a marriage for her.  I am stuck.  I have information about her from 1907 onwards but am puzzled by the missing data for 1880-1907.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Can anyone help with any information on either Joseph, died 1926, and Leah, died 1913 their daughter Frances Leah Lilley, died 1960 and her son Walter died 1985. I have been able to trace the family back through the Christchurch library cemetery data but cannot get back any further. I think Leah emigrated to New Zealand in about 1876. I think Joseph emigrated to New Zealand in about 1863.  Any help would be welcomed.
