Hi Bisior23

Welcome to Rootschat  ;D

By family, I guess you mean his children, grandchildren?   Anything we might find for you would have to be kept in the private section of Rootschat as it would involve living people and perhaps recently deceased, whose privacy we must maintain.

You can access the Private Message system in Rootschat only after posting 3 messages on the public forums. Once you've done that, any of us as individuals can send messages to, and recieve messages from,  you.  You've posted 1 public message (this topic). Reply to me, and that makes it 2....  we'll get you up to 3 quick smart.

Meantime, use this free resource:
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

To find the  possible name of this wife   and the name of a child of that marriage, don't post what you find on here though.

Cheers
AMBLY

In the meantime, although you likely had this Mozdzierz, Franciszek Stanislaw; Poland; Engineer. Fitter; 21, Yew Tree Avenue, Carrington,. Nottingham. 16 July, 1949. http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/38697/pages/4079/page.pdf
I imagine it was checked that he is no longer living, so o.k. to post full name?
