Adopted grave of Frederick White
« on: Tuesday 28 December 21 21:26 GMT (UK) »
Dear People of Rootschat,

Last year I adopted the grave of Frederick White.

I have some trouble locating his family, all I know is the information I have is from the wargraves committee and the cwgc.

Is there anyone here with more information or maybe some help finding his relatives.

I know he was married to Hazel Joan White of Walpole Highway Cambridgeshire and his parents were Albert and Mary White.

He was from the 621 Field sqn, Royal Engineers and died on 5 February 1945 aged 25.

His service number is: 1922883.

At this point I am completely stuck in my research.

Any help would be kindly appreciated!

Kind regards,
David van Coolwijk

Hi David,

Frederick White born 17th. March 1919
He had an elder brother Robert William White born 4th September 1909
Parents Albert and Mary (mn Garrod)

Looking in the same area and using mothers maiden name there probably was another brother, Joseph H White born 1912.

His marriage was in 1942 as per www.freebmd.org.uk but there does not appear to have been any children born to the marriage.

Hazel was previously Ashmore & was b 16.5.1919

@CaroleW: So that is probably a dead end I am affraid.

@Fisherman: thank you! From CaroleW's response I learned that there were no children so that is a dead end.

I suppose maybe we can find somthing through his older brother(s)?

So all I can hope for now that his brother has children or grandchildren who saved information or photos. Fingers crossed I suppose!
