Canada / Re: Smalley Family
« on: Monday 14 October 19 21:12 BST (UK)  »
I researching a Lancaster bomber crashed 8 February 1945 after a midair collision over The Netherlands between the towns Best and Son which is in the S.E. part of Holland. F/Lt Robert Cecil Smalley was the Bombaimer of this crew. His aircraft a 97 Squadron Lancaster bomber ND961 took off from Coningsby for a raid on the Dortmund Ems Canal near Ladbergen. Around 0.50 Hrs this aircraft collided in midair with another Lancaster PB181 which killed 15 crewmembers among them also F/Lt R.C.Smalley. He was 30 years old when he died. On the 8th February 2020 we will erect a memorial near the place where these crewmembers died. I would like to get in touch eager with his family. Is there some one who can help me to track them down?? He was born 6 January 1915 Calgary,Alberta and son of Thomas Riley and Elizabeth Jane(Néé Cunliffe) Smalley of Vancouver. Brother of Wilfred,Victor James,Thomas and Elsie.

Regards and I looking forward to hear,
Adrian

Maybe Laura don't know the rules and think some one could send her a PM. I know that an email on a open forum is discouraged but I am still waiting for her message to come, and maybe she missed my email address as she cannot get it because she didn't increase her quota. Anyway i hope she will contact me.

Many Thanks Ray for all your trouble and contribution which is fantastic!!!  I haven't access to Anc but I am gratefull that you left a message to the thread. Sad to hear that his twinbrother Bryan died in 2017, his Wife in 1997 and their only son in 2000. What a tragedy.  Hopefully you have luck to get in touch with a familymember or close relative or distant.

Cheers,
Adrian

Hi Ray,  Many Thanks for the info. I have already the info you send which I took from the CWGC wargrave register but not the birth and marriage of his parents. Many Thanks for that. I hope that the end result is that we get in touch with his family.
Cheers,
Adrian
