World War Two / Canadian records WW2

« on: Saturday 21 September 19 20:18 BST (UK) »

UPDATE, all sorted now but thanks for looking

I'm trying to find my dads war records from WW2 in Canada.
I know his regiment and his service number but cannot find the best place to find them.
Sep 1936 • Ontario, Canada
Dad joined the Army in the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals and was posted to R.C.C.S. He was discharged September 22 1945, with a rank of Sergeant Reg No P40225.
Would anyone point me to where to look, I have looked on Find my Past

The Common Room / finding a birth certificate

« on: Thursday 12 September 19 14:27 BST (UK) »

Hi,
I have a problem with my 2nd great grandmothers' date of birth.
I have a source citation for her birth as the 09 Apr 1846 in Madras, India, I have a citation for her marriage in 1856 which gives her birthdate as 1839.
If the citation for her birth is correct, that will make her 10 when she married.
My question is, how to I get a birth certificate for her?
I'm really hoping her birth citation is wrong but I need to confirm it
