There's a possible marriage in 1944 in Newmarket - Frank M Forde to Muriel C Cope.

Thank you for that information that is him on war site   do you have date for marriage? he died on the 30th January 1944.

Son of Patrick and Sheila Mary Forde, of Dublin, Republic of Ireland.

It looks as though that is the source you need to go for further information unless the very brief marriage before his death in action produced a child. However, this is not a site for tracing living people. Genes Reunited is the way to go for that.

Thank you Hackstaple.  I am afraid those people are long dead as is anybody who would have known anything about him. maybe someone will see my post and add to it   Thank you

You might like to contact the 622 Sqn researcher Howard Sandall (via the Mildenhall Register Assn) http://www.mildenhallregister.stirlingpilot.org.uk/Milden6.htm and if I am right I think he has a book of the history of the Sqn.  The Mildenhall Register have an annual reunion (I am a member and go to these) at which some veterans of the Sqn still attend Please get yourself added to the email newsletter list.  Might be worth asking for something to be put in for you so you can find out more about this young man

Hi

This is the book you need to find out further information on the loss of his plane:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bomber-Command-Losses-Second-World/dp/0904597911

If you have a large library near you, it may have it in the reference section.

Alternatively, you could post a request on http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/forumdisplay.php?f=7 - I am sure someone will be able to help.

Good luck.
