If you are on Ancestry someone has a post about the death of Robert Thomas death/burial in France

I'm very skeptical of pay sites so only signed up for the free 2 week trial. May have to sign up though

Sadly, the chances of finding his biological father are slim. His half brother William was 11 years older and it looks like he had 2 children born in the 1940s....a very slim chance that there is some family story there.

Sorry, quick question re this. I'm trying to piece the timelines together.

1939. What does that date reference? The date she became a widow? If Robert T died in 1917 why the big date gap?

The initial National Registration Bill was introduced to Parliament as an emergency measure at the start of World War II. Royal assent given on 5 September 1939. it was a system of identity cards during the war.

1939 is the England and Wales Register rather than the Census which are every 10 years

Sorry should have posted that its from 1939 register.

Also I think access to Ancestry is free at public libraries,or at least it used to be.Im sure someone will correct or confirm this.

Yep Libraries (if you can find one that is still open) do have ancestry for free.

I looked at 1939 register to see who was living at 14 Park Rd,the address on birth cert but there is a note written in red ink which says:

' NOs 6-14 omitted,see Page 1 in supplementary book.'

I don't know where to find the supplementary book! Any suggestions?
