Title: 1939 Index Frank and Lottie Griffiths.
Post by: Regorian on Tuesday 16 October 18 16:20 BST (UK)
Could some kind Rootschatter find these people in 1939 Index (I don't have access). Frank Griffiths born 1877 and Lottie Wilks born 1891. They married in 1919. They were from Forest of Dean. Frank was one of nine, 8 brothers and one sister, including my grandfather. The family today know of all of them except Frank. He seems to have disappeared off the radar in the early 1920's. At the time he was a colliery contractor.

I've put this in England General but they could have moved to Wales or anywhere else in UK. Thank you.

Sorry, we are not allowed to do 1939 lookups.

It is possible for you to do a free search (F M P)  It is generally easier to locate people with full dates of birth  https://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-world-records/1939-register

1920ish, East Dean, Soudley/Bradley Hill area. From what you have kindly found for me, should be no problem tracking them, addresses too.

I have her birth entry somewhere. Still transferring data from paper reseaches on to computer. Same for marriage entry, Westbury on Severn district I think in both cases.

Added: Lottie's father was British born but U.S. citizen.
