Flintshire Lookup Requests / 1980/81 Electoral Roll lookup for Mostyn

« on: Tuesday 03 April 12 09:58 BST (UK) »

I appreciate that this is rather recent but the person in question died in 1982 (born 1910) and I want to see if he lived alone, so if anyone would be kind enough to have a look at the Electoral Register for 1980/81 I would be most grateful. I believe they are held at Flintshire Records Office.

The address is 60 Ffordd Pennant. Maes Pennant, Mostyn, Flintshire

England / Incoming Passenger List from Canada

« on: Monday 12 March 12 08:06 GMT (UK) »

In 1941 a Canadian soldier married an English girl in Berkshire but 4 years later he returned to Canada with his unit. It is believed that at some point he might have returned to the UK but I don't have access to the records.
Can anyone help please?.
His name was Robert J C Lennox but I have no idea of his age.
The lady in question is still alive so please don't post anything referring to her.

The Common Room / Adoption

« on: Thursday 01 March 12 18:56 GMT (UK) »

I don't know if this is the right place to post this question.

Can anyone clarify the adoption rules regarding a person wanting to obtain their deceased mother's adoption records. The person concerned has been told that although the authorities know where the records are held, as the next of kin of a deceased person they are not allowed to have access to them. Is this correct?.

World War Two / Royal Engineers re-enlistment

« on: Tuesday 07 February 12 16:18 GMT (UK) »

I have been trying to trace what happened to a man after the war, but am getting nowhere.

I have a copy of his Service Record and he was a HGV driver in 136 M E Coy Royal Engineers, discharged in 1946.
I also have a copy of a letter sent to a woman in The Netherlands in 1948 from a woman who was (apparently) the sister of this soldier, she was writing to say he had re-enlisted but had been killed defusing mines in 1948. She also states that he wasn't married, but he was, with 2 children.

If a soldier re-enlisted I would have thought the details would have been in his Service Records, but they aren't.
Surely a soldier who had been driving lorries wouldn't be given the job of defusing mines.

I know that a lot of things happened during and after the war and my first reaction was that he wanted to disappear, but then I wondered whether some of his record is missing.

He gave an address when he was discharged in 1946 and according to the Electoral Roll he was registered there in 1947 but not later, so that doesn't help.

Can anyone offer any advice?.
