Ronald Marsh
« on: Friday 10 August 18 17:39 BST (UK) »
Ronald took a 2nd Class Degree in Litorae Humaniores at Merton College in 1935. He later, post 1947, taught classics at a prep school.in Folkestone, Kent. I do not know where or when he was born or died. Can anybody help?

Have you ID'd him in the 1939 register?

Can the college help with any information itself?

What information led you to choose to research his name out of all others?

I don't know how to access the 1939 Register for free. He was a teacher at my old school (I'm writing a history of the school and it's teaching staff) and his name is the latest one for research. I've contacted Queens College Oxford and they have told me he took his degree at Merton. The Merton Archivist is away on holiday so I thought I'd try some other avenues of enquiry.

The 1939 register is available on Ancestry and FindMyPast.  Most libraries have access

Is it free to access. I don't have any paid subscriptions.

You can do a free search on it, we are not allowed to do lookups from it other than what is available on a free search.  I added to my last post it is available at local libraries.

You can play with the free search to get a birth date but you will not get a full address

If he was in the forces during WW2 he probably would not show on the register. It was done to obtain information on the civilian population for the issue of ration cards etc.
