If you are applying for a copy of her service record you do not need her service number; a date of birth can be used.

The record will show when her service finished; not sure if they have details like new address as I have only seen records for those died during the war.

Hi Nanny Jan
I thought if I could get her service number I could possibly trace her where abouts after 1939 onwards
she is proving to be a very big brick wall also it is very frustrating i have been told she didnt marry,and there isnt  anyone who i can ask

Thank you for your reply
Chris

If she was only in the ATS for the period of the war then it is possible that any discharge address would be her parents.  Have you looked at her parents address on electoral registers after the war.

I am not sure how her service number would help you find her after 1939 other than in her ATS records

Did her father leave a Will?  It might mention her with an address.
