Hi
Is it possible to find civilian deaths from WW2,  I have a family of Collingwoods
that 'died in the bombing of Manchaster WW2" from oral history and letters.

Thomas Collingwood and wife Emily, and 2 daughters Barbara and Maude.
Maude born abt 1912.  Barbara was older.

I have there address in 1922 as 77 Roseberry St Moss Side Manchester.

Emily Collingwood was a cousin somehow to Margaret Emily Capstick (nana).  As they addressed each other that way in letters.

Thank you

Barabara Emily Collingwood died aged 57 in 1935 and both her and the above Tom Purslow Collingwood are buried in Southern Cemetery in the same grave.

Tom Purslow Collingwood married Barbara Emily Cadstick/Captstick at St. Chads, Rochdale in 1903.  So I think that must be your Capstick connection to your nana.  You should be able to find them in the 1911 census with a daughter Barbara L Collingwood aged 6.  There is also a birth of a Beryl M Collingwood in 1912 Rochdale with the mothers maiden name of Capstick - possible that the M stands for Maude?.    There is also  a death for a Barbara Lilian Collingwood in Manchester 1994 born 6th June, 1904 if she never married.
