Shanon, I asked a question. Any chance of a reply?

So your Father claimed that Albert died in 1944 in the war.

You were told that Albert William was the father of Desmond Ronald born 1926. So Albert should have been born around 1900.

Your father said that Albert was in the war. This is possible for someone born 1900, but less likely, depending on what he was doing.

Do you have any more information on Desmond Ronald, or his wife, or any other children that your grandfather or greatgrandfather may have had?

Thank-you

just adding here as it is Eton as per some previous info

Marriages Dec 1940 (>99%)
Dance Albert W Vallis Eton 3a 4673
Vallis Olive A Dance Eton ( wonder what the A stands for ? she was born 1915) EDIT another tree has her middle name Amelia)

There is a tree on Ancestry with the above named, but no further info, the tree owner would appear to be a 'Dance' though.

EDIT not connected as this marriage produced 3 children.

As I posted previously, the parents of Albert William Desmond Dance, killed in France, were probably Albert E and Lucy.
The second marriage of Albert E., to make Albert W D stepson to Frances would be this one:
Marriages Sep 1932
Carter Frances B M Dance Newport M. 11a 618
Dance Albert E Carter Newport M. 11a 618
