Hi, I am trying to find which regiment my late Uncle Ronald Norman Schroeder was in during WWII. His army number was 5671620 and I know he fought in North Africa and Italy and that's it! Can anyone...

I'm just sorry I didn't realise before. Very rude of me not to give feedback before. I will try harder in the future as I am most thankful for all the help received.

I'm sorry to say that I should have updated here to say that I did find my grandfathers records of where and when he was a POW. Also, managed to get a copy of his battalion's war diaries, all this...

Hi, it's been nearly 4 years since I placed my last post of this but I thought I would let everyone know that just a couple of weeks ago someone actually found my GGgrandmother's gravestone in...

Many thanks for the above, I'm pretty sure the Catherine born in Leamington Spa was my Nan especially as the birthdates are the same in 1911 and in 1939 Much appreciated.

Thanks for that helachau, I have found my Nan's marriage recorded and, in fact, her husband Albert was killed during WW1 which is why he wasn't found on the 1939 register. Agnes was her first born...

Many thanks, I thought it may be a long shot and a copy of her marriage certificate would be the way to go. All her children, including my Dad has passed away so no copy of the certificate that I...

Hi, is anyone able to look up my late Grandmother Catherine Potter in the 1901 Census. I know she married Albert Edwards in Weston Super Mare, Somerset in 1914 but can't find any more information on...

Just taken another look at the link you gave for the Wrington website, wimsey, and lo and behold Derek mentions Ivy Shaply not once but twice! That is the name I was after! Believe it or not, Derek...

Thanks for that wimsey, I knew Derek Davey when I was young and am a contributor at times to the village website. Many of my Mum's generation have now passed and they were a fountain of village...

Thanks you the clarification Lesley, Wrington is indeed a North Somerset village and my family has lived there for a fair few generations....

Hi, my son and his wife have booked a stay in the above cottage in the village of my birth. I remember visiting the inhabitants of this cottage with my now late mother back in the 60's. I believe...

....to find out the name of the family who lived in 19 Station Road, (Little Cottages) Wrington, Somerset in the 1950's. I have been wracking my brains to remember the lovely lady who lived there,...

Many thanks Christina, this would be William's eldest son - of much interest to my friend if she hasn't seen this before. |I will pass this on to her.

Hi Megan, I was asking this on someone else's behalf and she said she had looked for a long time with no luck. I will take another look on her behalf and see if \I can come up with...

I haven't actually seen this Pam, so thank you. I found the grave reference a fair few years ago and did go looking but couldn't find a gravestone. I just wanted to confirm that the inscription had...

Many thanks, Wimsey, that is the reference.

A question I hope someone can answer for me. I once found a reference to my gggrandmother, Maria Barbara Christiana Sophie Schroeder in the above index, Ref W-C-065. I have a grave site number and...
