Cyril Chisholm Long Arrrggggghhhh

[malcolm99]

but who is Robert Fellowes Chapman or is that the way Chisholm is transcribed?

It's me Terry - it's too hot here: for Chapman read Chisholm throughout

[Nicolina]

after doing a "silly search" it's possible that Robert F. Chisholm R.N. Queene C. V. LAYTON.
There is a birth Mar qtr 1912 Portsmouth 2b 831
Donald Chisholm, mother's name LAYTON.

Now why didn't I think of that eh!

Thank you very much Nicolina. I'll use that until such times it is either disproved or confirmed.

once again thank you very much.

That looks spot on, Nicolina. There's a likely remarriage for Queenie which would fit with her being a war widow: FreeBMD has a Queenie C. Chisholm marrying Frank D. Morris in the Isle of Wight district in 1922. The Isle of Wight BMDs site shows the birth of a Morris child the next year; in the column headed 'other names' it says 'LAYTON, CHISHOLM' (presumably the mother's maiden name and former married name).

My goodness, he did do some fantastic work didn't he, and all he had to show for it on his death was £730

Thank you Malcolm

And thank you too Coromandel, great find.

I fear that family history may have repeated itself: 32 year old Donald Chisholm, Sapper in 294 Field Coy, Royal Engineers, died 16/04/1945 according to the CWGC. He is buried in Uden War Cemetery. There's no information about the next-of-kin but with a d.o.b. of about 1913 this looks suspiciously like the son of Robert F. Chisholm junior.

I hope I am wrong.

32 year old Donald Chisholm, Sapper in 294 Field Coy, Royal Engineers, died 16/04/1945 according to the CWGC. He is buried in Uden War Cemetery.... with a d.o.b. of about 1913 this looks suspiciously like the son of Robert F. Chisholm junior.

Ancestry says that with this death date, this Donald Chisholm is from Inverness.

Yes and no....

Yes, there should be a date of birth (as long as the informant knew it) but not because it is post 1960. Skin of teeth time - birth dates started being recorded on death certificates from 1st April 1969.
