Searching info

Hi

There are plenty of records of individuals serving on units that weren't part of the same corps.

EG. Cooks on Parachute Regiments are ACC not AAC.

So I would suggest, just to be thorough, that everyone extends their searches beyond the RASC.

Hope I am making sense.

Hmmmm - more questions

There are 5 family trees on Ancestry for Henry Coultas Milner but none of them show a Cyril/Frank/Francis born to either of Henry's 2 wives.

Could you also copy the right hand end of the marriage certificate as its missing on the copy you sent

You’ve got my fathers date and name correct, which I obviously know already. His mother who you’ve correctly said was born on the dates above. Her maiden name was Chambers. I have her marriage certificate to my Dads father which took place in Belfast.

 

The only close record I can find is for this Cyril Milner born 1915 - I cannot find one born in 1914 or 1916 in England & Wales

Name: Cyril Milner
Death Age: 86
Birth Date: 20 Jan 1915
Registration Date: Aug 2001
Registration district: New Forest
Inferred County: Hampshire
Register Number: 4B
District and Subdistrict: 4941B

It might be worth picking up a copy of the death cert above as it might include a middle name or initial, thereby confirming or not if this person is related [or not]

I’ve got their marriage certificate

 

I’ve been told by a family member that he was 23yrs 11 months when he died. 27th April 1939. I am hoping they have a death cert. I am visiting said family at the weekend and hope to get more info as he did a family tree/trace on his wife RI Chambers.

 

make sure you take notes from this thread and ask plenty of questions

 

Francis Cyril is on his death cert supposedly. Frank must be the shortened version he went by.

 

Perhaps you should be heading towards Belfast?

That sounds like it. I knew it was suicide. Well done. Cheers.

 

Well found Tony

Where did you find this?

any idea what the rest says?

 

Those newspaper archives are a blessing. Last year I bought a months subscription and uncovered 40-50 articles on my Chindits boys. Mostly from the Liverpool Echo and Evening Express.

 

Thanks

Yes but afraid it is not accessible on the normal UK subscription.
