Australia / Re: Help finding an obituary please
« on: Thursday 27 July 23 14:25 BST (UK)  »
You could try doing a search of ryersonindex.com it may tell you which newspaper it was in, if it was 2020 and later it may reference the funeral director's website.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Grant Mount, Leeds
« on: Wednesday 26 July 23 15:17 BST (UK)  »
Leodis.net has a photograph of Grant Mount taken in 1953, it was probably demolished in the 1960s/70s when Leeds underwent a large slum clearance program.

Why not just add the name of that person in the box or am I missing something?

He may have been evacuated when the Register was taken so you may need to extended the area of your search if you have not already done so.

World War Two / Re: Help with RAF Record?

I think 11 wks Sqdn refers to RAF airfield constructiion services rather than a flying squadron, if you look under mustering wks also appears there.

World War Two / Re: Help needed in interpreting WWII RAF record

Colour blindness is a possible reason but I don't know if that was tested for then, I know people wishing to become aircrew nowadays are tested. It also prevents you working in electronics trades in the RAF as well.

World War One / Re: Uniform WW1 or WW2 ?

I agree with Jim. The swagger stick gives them away, other rank soldiers in WW2 did not have them.

The Common Room / Re: Do you put media records on Ancestry?
« on: Tuesday 21 March 23 16:23 GMT (UK)  »
If I remember correctly the change to Ancestry's term and conditions gave them the copyright for ever on any documents, photographs etc. that people added to their trees, this is probably what your family member is referring to. I actually moved my trees before the change and deleted them from Ancestry, as far as I am concerned any photo, I or any members of my family have taken, they own the copyright to not Ancestry.

Both medals were returned, perhaps they did not have the correct address for him or perhaps he did not want them, or a third possibility is that he had returned to Sierra Leone.
