Whilst carrying out research on people listed on the War Memorials for Trimley St Mary and Trimley St Martin I came across the grave of Petty Officer Royal Navy John Scott died age 60 11th August 1942 He is not listed on any of the War Memorials in the area and I have been unable to trace him on CWGC site. I think it would be highly unusual for an NCO or other rank to use Rank details if not still serving. Believe he was born in Ipswich (St Mary's at Stoke) in late 1881 and was living as stepson in Trimley St Mary in 1891 census aged 10? Death is recorded for Deben Registrar Suffolk ref 4a1039 Any ideas where I can get further info on this gent please?
Hi, No luck search the RN casualty lists for thay date follow the link below for August 42 but like I say he is`nt down for that date..Sorry Regards Verrieres Royal Navy casualties, killed and died, August 1942
Hello Martin, Probably dosen't help but I offer just in case. There is a John Scott's Seaman's Record held in piece ADM 188/512 Interestingly, the same man appears in another file: piece ADM 188/328 I would guess these records pertain to WWI and beyond but not WWII. However, these records, if the correct man, may help further your search. Regards Hugh
