Nottinghamshire / Re: RAWSONS of Nottinghamshire/Leicester

Hi Steve.  I had found the journey stuff but not the stories about the Mazoe patrol so thanks very much for that!  I sent you a message on ancestry.com in July with a few questions - did you see it?  I have a different death date for Marjorie Luffe who was married to your grandfather Dudley.  Also I have your grandfather Dudley with a brother Geoffrey Harold Lewis and a sister Edith Mary whereas you have her name as Charlotte Ethel.  Do you have any evidence of Charlotte Ethel?  And do you have dates/documents for your mother Val Millroy?  It would be great to hear from you and thank you once again for the Mazoe stuff.

I think it is very confusing as there clearly was a name change in addition to Harold and his brother Otto changing their names from Zimmerman to Rawson in about 1913.  Do you have any info on the name change or can you advise me where to search?  I think the Louis William Henry Zimmerman born in Oct 1869 changed his name to Rawson also as his sons used the name Derek Rawson Rawson and John Willoughby Rawson and they were born in 1905 and 1910.  I am using the Ancestry.com website but am a bit of an amateur so am unsure how to find the records!  Will keep trying....

Oh my goodness Annie you are amazing!  My mother claimed that there was a Zimmerman in the family with a name change and my uncle totally denied it.  Unfortunately my father died so not able to confirm or deny or provide me with more details.  This is definitely the missing link in the family.   I cannot express how grateful I am.  I am onto it.  Happy happy happy!

Hi, I am new here.  Trying to find my great uncle, Derek Rawson, son of Louis William Henry and brother of John Willoughby.  Derek had James, Christopher and Georgina born between 1936 and 1944.  Derek inherited from his father who died in 1948 in Cheshire though, it seems, had lived in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) for some time.  We are trying to trace that part of the family history.  We would also very much like to trace any known whereabouts of John Willoughby (my grandfather) between 1946 when he left the family home to 1974 when he died in Hounslow.  I really would be grateful if anyone has any additional snippets that may be of use!  Thanks so much
