Hi Ken,
Thanks for that.
Someone on Ancestry mentioned that it would have been in The Times and that Cambridgeshire County Council Libraries allow people to access The Times archive from home using their library card. I will have to look into this. Failing that, I will have to go to Manchester Library next time I'm in the area as I live in Kent.
Thanks again for your help,
Mich

Hi Ken,
Yes, I have already obtained the service records from the Navy archives. Am I right in saying that the Roll of Honour is printed in a newspaper or am I calling it the wrong name? I want to find out roughly when it was in the newspaper so as to narrow my research down a bit when looking through the archives for local newspapers in Manchester.
Thanks again for your help, Ken.

Hi Wendi,
Thanks for that - I do already have a copy of this. What I am trying to find is the Roll of Honour (obituary) that would have been printed in a newspaper maybe?
Again, thanks anyway.

Lancashire / Roll of Honour - Second World War

My great uncle was in the Royal Navy (Portsmouth Division) and died in 1941 on HMS Auckland. Does anyone know where I can obtain a copy of the Roll of Honour?

Ireland / Re: Clinton family
« on: Sunday 25 February 07 12:23 GMT (UK) »
Hi 7/3,
Thanks very much for the info. My Robert and Margaret did have a son called Robert but according to the census info he was born c1820 and was one of eleven children, of which two of them were born before him - Samuel Clinton c1811 and Jane Clinton c1816. I guess they may have had three children out of wedlock but I don't know. It's a shame I cannot obtain a marriage certificate for Robert and Margaret to know her surname for certain. Unfortunately, the bmd records on Ancestry and Findmypast.com only start from 1835.
If you have any more ideas on how to find out for certain, please let me know.

Anyone researching the surname Clinton or have any Clintons in their family tree? Trying to find earlier ancestors (parents and siblings etc.) of Robert Clinton born c1796 in Ireland, married to Margaret (surname unknown).

World War Two / HMS Auckland 1940-1941
« on: Wednesday 22 November 06 11:16 GMT (UK) »
My great uncle, Arthur Davies, died on the HMS Auckland during the Second World War. I only have one photo of him and was wondering if anyone has any old photos of the crew aboard HMS Auckland during 1940/41.
