Shropshire / Peter Smith 1956 Shrewsbury.
« on: Tuesday 27 August 19 15:18 BST (UK)  »
've been asked if I can find out anything about Peter Smith a spitfire pilot during the war. The second log book for his car gives his address in 1956 as Mount Pleasant, Shrewsbury. Then Yardley, Birmingham in the 1960's.
Shame his service number is not known because he was hoping to trace him back to the war years and I don’t  seem to be able to pick up the electoral rolls for 1956 as a starting point.


Think it's a bit of a long shot given the little information he has.
Any help appreciated.

Just found your post. Have you sorted it out as the Baptist Cemetery was surveyed in 1980 and 2011.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Ada Brice first marriage.
« on: Sunday 30 August 15 21:14 BST (UK)  »
Well done Johnw65. The marriage certificate for Ada Eliza Elizabeth Hilson to Leonard Bird, Ada's fathers name and occupation is blank. Joseph Brice was one of the witnesses. As you mentioned Ada was born in March 1892 and Joseph and Annie Hilson were married in September 1892.
So I will probably never know who the father was as it looks like it was not Joseph.
Thank you again for all the replies.

I don't think Ada E.E. Hilson is the one I'm looking for but with so few leads.
Ada Brice married Mr. Bird in Canada.
    Just found UK Incoming list for the Megantic  Nov 1920 Montreal to Liverpool.
Frank Bird Miner age 31
Ada Bird Housewife age 31
Elsie Bird Child
Nora Bird Infant
This may be her and family returning to England. If so her husband died between 1921-1923.
Will starting looking this up.

Thank you for your reply's

Canada Lookup Request / Ada Brice first marriage.
« on: Wednesday 19 August 15 13:02 BST (UK)  »
I’m looking for the first marriage of Ada Brice,  Familysearch has brought up a lead. The Outward Passenger list for the ship  Megantic  27th Sept 1913 destination Quebec Canada lists an Ada Brice born about 1890, To be married and a domestic servant. If she is the right Ada she married someone with the surname of BIRD. Which fits quite well with the 1911 UK Census.

The Marriage Certificate for her second marriage in 1923 at St. Neots, Huntingdonshire England to Albert Robins, she is a widow Ada Bird, fathers name Joseph Brice and is a Greengrocer.

My other lead is Ada E. E. Hilson married Leonard Bird  in 1912 and died 1918. St. Neots, Huntingdonshire. HILSON is her mothers maiden name. I'm doubtful about the two middle names.
Any help would be appreciated
Thank You
