Bedfordshire / Ran over by plane
« on: Monday 12 June 17 10:24 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I`m researching, Thomas William GARDINER. He is said to have been run over by a plane in Britain after coming back from Dunkirk in ww11 by his family. He died 21st June 1940.
I have a newspaper cutting, local to where he was from, dated 27th June 1940, which says, Sapper Thomas William GARDINER age 41 of Cleadon Park Estate, South Shields, who escaped unhurt from Dunkirk, has been accidentally killed at a camp in Britain.
I have found a death registration of a Thomas W, GARDINER June quarter of 1940 age 41 in Ampthill.
Was an airfield/camp in this area then? Would local papers there have more info on what exactly happened to him. Hope someone can help to get the full story, DUREAY

Northumberland / Wrong father ?
« on: Sunday 18 August 13 21:54 BST (UK)  »
Hi, looking for parish marriage records for, John TEMPLE and Martha Ann ROBINSON. They were married in Christ Church,Walker, Northumberland on 18th November 1893. I have their marriage certificate from the register office but Martha`s father is named as Thomas TEMPLE. I know him to be William ROBINSON and have checked with the registrar, they confirm that Thomas TEMPLE is on the certificate. Could this have been written down incorrectly? Hoping parish records can help.

Cumberland / TEMPLETON to TEMPLE
« on: Saturday 13 November 10 23:33 GMT (UK)  »
Would anyone know why my Great Great grandparents would change their name from TEMPLETON to TEMPLE. John TEMPLETON, my Great Great Grandfather, was born in Ireland in the early 1800`s. He married a Catherine. She was born in Whitehaven c1813. By the 1851 census they had moved to County Durham and and shortened their name to TEMPLE. Why would they do this. Audrey
