I was having fun looking up Regula and family, did not realise you might be interested in them.  They are fairly easy to find on Ancestry.

I have recently found John Strongs first wife's name . Olga Skillicorn who married John Strong in Bulawayo Zimbabwe somewhere between 1936 and 1937. They had  four children all born in Bulawayo. One of the children , Jennifer born between 1942-1943 married a canadian concert pianist. One child Michael Strong born between 1944 -19 45 committed suicide in the UK in his early twenties but I cant find a registered death here. Does anyone know how one could find out  more about them.

'One child Michael Strong born between 1944 -19 45 committed suicide in the UK in his early twenties but I cant find a registered death here. Does anyone know how one could find out  more about them.'

Does he have a middle name, how good is your information about his birth year, and about age and place of death?

Added: A definite shortage of candidates for death.
