World War Two / Finding out if my grandad served in the war
« on: Thursday 18 May 23 19:22 BST (UK)  »
Good evening , how would I find out if my grandad Stanley Frank Deaves bn 01/06/1910 served in WW2? Sadly both my parents are now dead and I have no other relatives to ask, I never recall my dad talking about it, my grandad would have been 30 ish during the war so would he not have been eligible? Or would he have had some other role? I’m sad to say I don’t even know what he did for a job, I think I recall my dad saying he was a tool setter ? Would there be some official war records on him?

The Common Room / Checking my research

Would anyone be willing to check my research of my partners great grandmother ? We have hit an issue of her date of birth so are not sure it’s actually her now, I appreciate it may require some time so I am happy to compensate. I can type out what we know and what we have found out, and the issues that we have found.

Hi all

George Coley born 5/11/ 1872 in chilvers cotton and died October 1961 he married Sarah Webley in 1896.

The witness to the marriage says Fathers name was Isaac Coley, no other details known.

Getting info on Isaac and even beyond him is now beyond my skills.

Isaac would be my partners 3x great grandfather, would anyone be able to shed any further light to help usZ

Herefordshire / Hereford Industrial School 1911
« on: Tuesday 16 February 21 19:26 GMT (UK)  »
My partner has  always drawn a blank when they got to her great grandfather Reginald Coley.

I have spent a fair few hours today discovering that Reginalds father was called William Green, Green married Lily Coley in 1924.

For some reason , their child Reginald was given the surname Coley and not Green.

I have found out that Green was an inmate in Hereford Industrial School in 1911.

I’m guessing it is that reason that Reginald was given his mother’s surname and not his dads? Obvs since then everyone had the Coley name and Green name died with William Green

I have requested if there are more details about Green and why he was in the workhouse and if there is any mention of Lily Coley.

Graveyards and Gravestones / Tracing where the grave is
« on: Thursday 12 December 19 16:32 GMT (UK)  »
My 4x great grandfather Thomas Deaves died:
Death
Oct 1861 • Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England

I’ve contacted St chads Shrewsbury, the church where he got married but they said their detailed records don’t go back to 1861, but I’m welcome to have a walk round the graveyard looking.

Shrewsbury is about 2 hours from me , I intend on driving up to have a look and to photo his addresses .

Does anyone know if there are other records of where he may be buried?
