Find Ancestors

Thanks for posting this Vera. I found it interesting as some of my lot come from that area. Sadly he isn't one of mine.

Reggie. I'm sure that I cannot be the only one who does not keep every name on their tree on here. I have many names to add when I have the time and inclination to double check it all and put them on.

You could surely spare some time to look in search trees

Further to Vera's post

The man was 24 when he enlisted......tallies with the 1911 census, but is not proof

they are trying to find ancestors in the hope of passing on documents they have found.

just thought it was worth posting.

According to records of this John Ringwood his wife was Annie living at the same address.

Regards Vera

One would have thought that someone at the BBC could distinguish between Army and RAF uniforms

What is the reason for your post?

The man in the photograph belongs to the RAF Regiment which I don't think was formed until the early 1940's
Their job in the main was to defend RAF airfields

Barry (ex RAF)
