Armed Forces / Conflicting dates of death as a pow
« on: Wednesday 02 August 23 16:10 BST (UK) »
Hello
I have a Donald Lamb born 20th September 1913 Belfast service number 815566
Served in the 3rd battalion Royal artillery but during the war records show he was part of the 6th heavy anti aircraft regiment.
Family tales tell he was beheaded .
On the common wealth site it gives date of death as 5th march 1943 yet other documents show on or around 4th April 1942 .where would I look for confirmation of death year
Any help much appreciated

Hi
thankyou so much for having a look at this for me yes this is what i've been looking at but was unsure if i was definitely looking at the right family so thought if admission records for Forestgate where available that would be the way to try and confirm The mother of these children Susan/Susannah died in 1882 death registered Shoreditch by husband George,so maybe the children where deserted by their father if he found it hard to cope with little children. who's death i think i've found in 1919 he was alive in 1908 on George's marriage certificate.
thankyou for taking time to look at this
kind regards

Hi
i am seeking information on a George Lamb born abt 1878 in London died 1932 Gravesend Kent .working backwards from his marriage in 1908 in Belfast where he was a soldier with a father called George i am trying to confirm who his parents where .i do have a possible family but have some doubts and would appreciate any help/advice
1891 George Lamb age 13 born Whitechapel aboard the training ship Exmouth docked on the river Thames off Grays he then was discharged to the First batallion Royal Irish Rifles
The Forestgate record i can see on ancestry says he was discharged on the 15th of January 1890 age 12 the reason given for entry was deserted no further information available to view. Do entry registers exist ?? and if so where would i look .
Looking at the 1881 census i can see a George with Father George age 33 mother Susan age 31 siblings Elizabeth age 9 Elenor age 1 living in 8 Mark Place Haggerston.
any help would be much appreciated
kind regards
