Searching for Robert C Alsop - Liverpool
« on: Tuesday 15 May 18 14:24 BST (UK) »
Hi - I am trying to find out what happened to Robert C Alsop, born in Liverpool on 28 December 1943.  His sister last saw him when he joined the army in around 1959.  His father was Robert Alsop, (who changed his name to Paul Ducroq & went off to Australia) and his mother was Edna May Worrall.  They were married in Q1 of 1943, we think, possibly in Worcestershire.  So far the only thing I have managed to  unearth about Robert C Alsop is the registration of his birth, (Liverpool South, Q1, 1943), but he appears to disappear after joining the army.  We are assuming he has passed away, although can find nothing to prove or disprove that.  Any help would be great.

Hhmm, I'm just wondering whether you would get anywhere with trying to obtain his army service record.

You do have his exact date of birth and an approximate year of when he joined.  The difficulty is that you don't know whether he is dead or still alive.

Perhaps you could try contacting them in the first instance and explain what you are trying to do and ask if it would be possible to obtain his service record.  The cost is £30.

Phone number is 0141 224 2507 - 8 to 4.30 Mon to Thurs, 8 to 12 noon Fri.

Worth asking even if you don't get anywhere.

He passed away a few years ago. I would love to connect. To my knowledge I am his only blood relative. He told many stories about his family but they were only that, stories.

Hi Caitlin

Welcome to Rootschat

Would you like to tell us how you are related to Robert and when he died?

If you can make a couple of more posts people can then send you a pm - personal message.  That's the little letter symbol under your name.

Added: Ah I see you already have made three posts - wasn't looking properly.  ::)
