Could someone have a look to see if they can find information on Edward Widgery please.
He was a crew member of a WW2 RAF Halifax bomber which crashed in North Essex in 1943.
The aircraft travelled from Pocklington and came down on 25th February 1943 in Ardleigh, Essex.
He is buried at Oystermouth cemetery Swansea, section N grave 193, and was aged 35 years old.
He was the son of Albert William and Elizabeth Widgery of Ammanford, Carmarthenshire. And was husband of Iris Mary Widgery of Sketty, Swansea.
Many thanks.

We aren't allowed to look up the 1911 census, due to copyright issues.
Likewise, the 1939 National Register (on FindMyPast).
And, Service Records for personnel serving after 1920 are still with the MOD.
