Charles Dunwell Alexander Moffat

[bagpuss]

Hello Rootschatters,

I wonder if anyone could help me on my latest quest? Charles Dunwell Alexander Moffat married my great aunt, Christiane Wilson in 1931, sadly she died the following year but I would love to know more about him.

It looks like he died in 1979 and was born in Jamaica in 1900?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in anticipation,
Sue

What was his fathers name on the 1931 marriage cert?

[CaroleW]

If you have a Worldwide Ancestry sub - there is a birth/baptismal reg for him in Jamaica

There is also a Fold 3 entry - 1922 Lieutenant in the Royal Artillery

1911 entry for him as Charles Dunnell Moffat b Kingston - not with parents

Did you check FamilySearch?

Hi Carole,

I don't have the marriage certificate yet, I'm waiting patiently (not!!!) for the postman to deliver it.

Thanks for the family search entry, I hadn't tried there, and I don't have a worldwide subscription so brilliant.

Thankyou Shaun, just found him on the 1921 census and he was still a serving soldier.

and thanks again Carole, just seen his father was born in Mattishall, Norfolk about 5 miles up the road from where I live now!!!
