Armed Forces / Prisoner of War name mystery
« on: Sunday 23 September 18 13:00 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,
We are looking into a personal family mystery, that I can't go into, but it involves a man called
Percy Leonard Gee (junior)
We have found out that he ended up as a Japanese prisoner of war and died in the Takuri Camp on
9th august 1945 aged 34, but on his memorial and in lists of people who have  died etc it says
Percy Leonard Gee served as L.BDR John Lawrence Smith, which is rather strange ,
so wondered if anyone could tell if this is a common thing or if there is a reason for this ?
details we already know,
born 26th july 1911
lived with parents in 1934 in Ingrow, Keighley (not there in 1935)
was in 9th coast regt. Royal artillery, number  1426858
captured 15th feb 1942
thanks :)

The Common Room / London Met Archives no Images?
« on: Thursday 12 October 17 15:02 BST (UK)  »
Has anyone else noticed that a lot of the images are missing ?
I've noticed it in the marriages, a lot of the ones I have saved are all saying no image, yet i am sure they used to be there, as it was how I could prove they were the right marriages as there was the picture with the full names address etc   ???
sorry forgot to say this is on Ancestry

Just found 2 episodes of The people detective on bbc iplayer,
Its where they take a descendant of some infamous murderer and explain all about what happened,
i've watched the one on the Yorkshire witch from 1809 and thought it was really interesting.
hopefully they will be putting more episodes on  :)
