Clive Lees Wood
« on: Wednesday 27 May 15 16:34 BST (UK) »
 I have a Clive Lees Wood, from his Air Force record I know he changed his name to Clive John Butler.   Why ?
His service number indicates he entered the RAF as an apprentice at RAF Halton in Jan 1936. 

Clive L Wood Mother's Maiden Surname: Brittain
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1920
Registration district: Walsall  Staffordshire

This is the only marriage with Wood / Brittain.
Clive John Butler Birth Date:27 Jan 1920
Died Nov  qtr 1989 Age at Death: 69 Wrexham Registration district .

I`m trying to find if he had any siblings . I have his Training Log book and would like to pass it on.

Are you sure about this marriage being the correct parents?
Marriages Jun 1920   
Brittain  Sarah E  Wood  Foleshill 
Wood  Henry J  Brittain  Foleshill 
The reason I'm querying this is searching freeBMD for births with parents Wood/Brittain shows a birth later in 1920 in Foleshill district.

On the same search there are 6 births 1913-1922, including Clive's, in Walsall district.

A bit earlier- Apr./June 1897 Walsall district
Laura Alice Brittain & John Henry Wood on same page- may or may not have married each other

Clive's birth certificate would sort out his parents' names
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thanks.

No, I `m not sure, as I said  that was the only marriage with Wood / Brittain I could find.
I can`t modify my posts, so it probably  got a bit messy 

This is the only marriage with Wood / Brittain.


The Clive L Wood is the only one in the right qtr that matched his date of birth shown on the death entry when he is Clive John Butler.
Jan - Mar 1920.

 I`m hoping to reunite his RAF Training Log book with a  relative, so don`t really want to spend cash on a search that might be useless.

They did marry, in 1911 , John Henry is 33, Laura Alice is 32.
They have had 7 children, 5 still alive. Eldest 10 , youngest 10 months.

This is a possibility for Clive Lees Woods parents if we take the ages in account.

I'm a bit confused here  ???

You have Clive's name and birth registration which gives mother's maiden name as Brittain but not the actual birth certificate.

So, how do you know "They did marry, in 1911 , John Henry is 33, Laura Alice is 32. They have had 7 children, 5 still alive. Eldest 10 , youngest 10 months. This is a possibility for Clive Lees Woods parents if we take the ages in account."

Hope this helps

I do not have Clive Lees Woods birth certificate.
I have his death index registration  in Wrexham as Clive John Butler born 27 Jan 1920 died 1989 aged 69.
This matches the Clive Lees Wood b 1920 Walsall  MMN Brittain
He joined the RAF as Clive John Butler formerly Clive Lees Wood.

1911 census . Walsall.
John Henry  Wood is 33, Laura Alice ( Brittain) is 32. Married 13 years
They have had 7 children, 5 still alive. Eldest 10 , youngest 10 months.

This is a possibility for Clive Lees Woods parents if we take the ages in account."

This is  the search for CJB in the RAF.

Hi,
       Are you still looking? He was my father in law and I can probably answer most questions
