With some help I managed to find my father in the 1939 Register at Bisley. You may to recheck. My imge reference was RG101/1935A/012/31   TNA_R39_1935_1935A_012 . The Guild of One Studies did a webinar on finding people in the 1939 Registry (was recorded). Is your relative still alive (if so the entry will be redacted). My father is no longer with us and therefore I can't ask him if he knew your relative.  Good luck.

Hi

Thank you for your reply.

I have a copy of the page from the register for 1939 that shows my Dad's details, which is how I found out he had been there.  He has passed and that is why I am guessing is the reason this came up when I did a search for information on Ancestry.

I was hoping that there might have still been someone around that knew him then....yes a lot of wishful thinking 

Anyway it was worth a try and I again thank you for your response.

My father, who was obviously at there at the same time , wrote down his memories of this period in his life. They can be found at https://www.baughen.co.uk/PDFs/My%20Childhood.pdf .

Hello

Thank you for that.

I have read and it gives me some idea of how Dad may have spent his time and what life would have been like there.

I really appreciate all your assistance with this.

Regards

Karen
