Shropshire / 1918 Electoral Roll, Oswestry
« on: Friday 20 March 15 14:29 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help please. My great great grandfather died in October 1918 and I have secured a copy of his newspaper obituary. Whoever prepared the obituary did a very good job, all children / grandchildren were listed in male seniority followed by female seniority, and I have associated all named folk with the exception of one couple - shown as Mr & Mrs W. PARRY, OSWESTRY.

Does anybody have access to the Oswestry electoral rolls or can search the rolls for 1918 to identify any couple (plus children) living in the Oswestry area in 1918, and just in case the wife was not eligible to vote in 1918, a further search of the 1928 roll as women then became eligible from aged 21 years and above.

Thank you for even reading this

World War Two / WW2 Service Records
« on: Friday 14 September 12 13:19 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone please advise how I can get copies of WW2 service records for :-

1. My father, died 1992 and my mum died 2011 and I am the only son (I have my dad's WW2 medals)

2. My mother's brother (my uncle) who died 2005, his wife (my aunt) died 2011 - they had no children so I am his surviving next of kin.

3. My mother's other brother (my uncle) who also died 2005. His wife divorced him in the mid 1950's and married again but she is also now deceased. This uncle also had no children so I am his surviving next of kin. I know this uncle was in the Navy and got hit with shrapnel and lost the sight of one eye and was discharged from WW2 further service.

I have my dad and one of the uncles death certificate.

Many thanks

Looking for an arrival date in Cape Town / South Africa of a June M. Blaydes who was born in Birmingham UK in 1935. All her siblings are now deceased and my information came from a nephew (my distant cousin) who I am helping with his family research.

I have consulted the "leaving the UK database up to 1960" on Findmypast and no record can be found. If anybody has access to other databases I would appreciate your help in locating her arrival date please

Caernarvonshire / Norman Philip Jones 1957 Death
« on: Monday 23 July 12 12:04 BST (UK)  »
Looking for a burial / resting place in the Penmaenmawr area of a Norman Philip Jones who died between July and September 1957 aged just 29. The last confirmed place of residence is Gwynan Road, Penmaenmar in 1953 but will know more when his death certificate arrives from the GRO. Due to the research I have a gut feeling he may, just may, have committed suicide after finding out some family information, if so that will need further investigation after I have his death certificate

Any help would be appreciated
