I am looking for K W Anderson RA, regimental number 265303 who was promoted to Captain in 1948.
I think he served in Palestine during the state of emergency there and in the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) Germany.

Sussex / Re: Charles Wilfred Wheatley and Florence Cowen
« on: Monday 16 November 20 20:49 GMT (UK) »
The only clue is a Ancestry tree which says Florence Rolls born 17 Nov 1903 died Abt 1988 married Lawrence Cowen in Brighton 1925 and then Charles Wilfred Wheatley in 1970, but gives no sources.

Sussex / Charles Wilfred Wheatley and Florence Cowen
« on: Sunday 15 November 20 18:49 GMT (UK) »
Charles Wilfred Wheatley and "wife" Florence both appear on the 1939 registrar as -
Charles Wilfred Wheatley, single, born 24.1.1910.
Florence Wheatley, married, born 17.11.1905.
While he is shown as “single”, she is “married”. The only marriage record I have found is a GRO bmd Q3 1970 for Charles Wilfred Wheatley and Florence Cowen.
Could it be they were "living in sin", Florence did not want to admit to this, while Charles did not mind?

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / parents of Arthur Walter Pearce
« on: Sunday 27 September 20 18:28 BST (UK) »
I am trying to confirm the parents of Arthur Walter Pearce 1893 – 1975.
Everything I have seen (records and trees) point to Henry Pearce 1850 -1944 and Jane Kent 1848 – 1925. However, I have found a note added in March 2013 on Family Search - sealing to grandparents - which says “Arthur although Elizabeth's illegitimate son he did not know this until he was in his 50's and always considered his grandparents as his parents as they brought him up so that is why I have sealed him to them”.
The partner of Elizabeth 1875 – 1934 is shown as Walter Kelly 1875 – 1923 (no marriage shown).
So, as Elizabeth was only 18 and possibly unmarried, Arthur Walter could have been “adopted” by her parents?
Is there any way I could confirm this either way?

United States of America / Loraine Lapierre
« on: Wednesday 12 August 20 21:48 BST (UK) »
I am looking for Lorraine Lapierre born 1925 Alameda California, Parents Edgar Ivan Lapierre and Gabrielle Archambault and wonder if someone would like to play detective?
The reason is, while there are plenty of records referring to Edgar Ivan and Gabrielle including newspapers circa 1928, Lorraine seems to have disappeared. In that year Loraine was placed in the care of an unnamed family and "Might" have changed her name before marriage.
The reason was, there was a shootout in which a Policeman was killed. Edgar made a one journey to San Quintin, while Gabrielle got 10 years. You can read about it here https://www.newspapers.com/clip/25488817/edward-lapierre/
