World War Two / Re: WRENS in Birmingham
« on: Thursday 20 February 25 20:00 GMT (UK)  »
Did the 1939 register include Scotland? Its a good idea but I can't find Dundee on either F.M.P. or A..ry Is there an equivalent to GRO Index or Free BMD for Scotland?

My problem is I know she marriedd between 1948 and 1954but I don't know who to neither do I have a birth year for her so I cant get the service record or know when she died .I know it sounds daft but we moved from Birmingham when I was 4 I remember mum having letters and I even had Christmas presents from her but when we again moved when I was 10 and had a baby brother I think my parents just got out of touch with her I vaguely remember some one saying her husband 's name was Keller but that may not be too accurate

World War Two / WRENS in Birmingham
« on: Thursday 20 February 25 15:37 GMT (UK)  »
My God mother was from Dundee but in 1942 was a WREN serving in Birmingham.
Yesterday I watched a program about HMS Unicorn in Dundee.
Does any one know what Wrens were doing in Birmingham and how can I find if she trained on HMS Unicorn?
I have a beautiful photograph of her in uniform.I sadly don't have her service number or much else other than her name.and happy vague childhood memories to help find her

Well that is definitely the family the contact has, he has said they spent time in S. Africa but the marriage doesn't give the father's name so we still can't say she is the same Florence  the bride was born in Bracknell. very near to Binfield so very likely to be right.

1928 Electoral Register
George Coleman and Florence Coleman living at Becton Cottage, South View Crescent, Winnersh.

Winnersh is not far from Binfield
There were several COLEMAN / Florence? marriages in that area
The one I want was William Arthur and Florence Belcher so sadly this isn't;t them...shame it would have been a useful link.They may well relate though so I'll pop the record in my data bank.. :)

Don't know waiting for a reply he contacted via our web site He mentioned the birth certificate in his note and a bit about William George later so I am guessing he is related through him.The Belchers are out on the twigs of our tree.

Thank you amondg that is interesting

Berkshire / Coleman/Belcher marriage
« on: Saturday 17 August 24 16:30 BST (UK)  »
A contact has seen the birth certificate of William George Coleman 24 sept 1908 at Easthampton parents William Arthur Coleman and Florence nee Belcher.

I have a Florence Belcher born Binfield 1880  but I cannot find a wedding  or any thing after the 1901 census for my Florence to see if she became Mrs Coleman
Can anyone help to find a marriage or anything else to prove or disprove the link
Thank you
