Census and Resource Discussion / GRO .....Refund ?? !!!
« on: Friday 22 January 10 20:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hello readers

 I have been trying to find out more on my grandfather  ( Arthur Charles Nevitt ), information being very thin i requested his marrage and death certs on line direct from GRO. I gathered all the information i could.

 I supplied his full name, the dates of both events, both places and all importantly the volume and page reference
numbers... i paid my £14.00 all via the comfort of my house.

 Now i find i have received two E mails from GRO stating my "certificates will not be produced as the additional forename is not Charles". The fee for checking the reference is £3.00 per cert.   £6.00 total.

I looked at the entries myself stating   it states......    Arthur C Nevitt....

I have been penalised for providing too much information it seems..... If i have given them all the information required plus a bit extra, is it right they can reject, charge and expect me to reorder deleting       Harles fro the
name of Charles    ??????

World War Two / airborne guardsman ?
« on: Wednesday 30 December 09 22:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all

 Can anyone throw any kind of light on my quest..?

 My grandfather, Arthur C. Nevitt Born 1911 in Birmingham. He died at the age of 57 in 1969. I was 7 when he died
so never knew anything of him. I remember he had a cap badge, what i now know to be a Grenadier guards badge.
 He was, so i am told by my mum that he was in the Airborne division during the second world war.
 I can recall a captured German helmet in his back yard. (he took it from a prisoner).

 Can anyone give me a kick start please, Where do i start to find out about him, and his military carrier ?

 All the best    Andrew.
