can some one find his parents , sibblings etc

I'm very happy you have met your sister. For what it's worth I couldn't see him on any military database on Anc* or F M P but I'm glad this has had a happy ending for you.

 

thank you i was going to search them for wilfred but seeing that you cant find any military records then i wont bother looking

[..claire..]

Unfortunately being quite a popular name it makes the search so much harder, plus more than half of service records were destroyed in 1940 when a bombing raid struck the War Office repository.

I will keep a look out for anything though

thank you so much im phoning my sister on wednesday i will ask if she knows what he done in the war .. but would he have active dutes with him being a miner and his age ?

[..claire..]

I think he had to be aged between 18 and 38 ( but couldn't be posted overseas until he was 19) and taller that 5ft 3in. So he possibly did something. I should think a miner would still have to do their bit but I'm not sure.
