There is the possibility that this is the death of the Bolton living Cyril as the birth year fits with the census:

England & Wales, Death Index,
Name: Cyril Goldstraw
Birth Date: 21 Apr 1902
Date of Registration: Jun 1974
Age at Death: 72
Registration district: Mansfield
Inferred County: Nottinghamshire
Volume: 8
Page: 0398

Which leaves you with the Liverpool living Cyril and probably this one:

England & Wales Christening Records, 1530-1906 about Arthur Cyril Goldstraw
Name: Arthur Cyril Goldstraw
Gender: Male
Birth Date: 3 Jul 1905
Christening Date: 3 Sep 1905
Christening Place: Tranmere, Cheshire, England
Age at Christening: 0
Father's Name: Paul Goldstraw
Mother's name: Jane Goldstraw

Births Sep 1905
Goldstraw Arthur Cyril Birkenhead 8a 531

I had not considered this birth as it was not in Lancashire, but Nelson & Bolton are not too far apart and there is a gap of about 30 years. Thanks for your help

My father's sister was born in 1910, so it would be that plus or minus about 5 I would expect. :-|

Olive Report 11 Aug 2014 15:01

My father's sister who grew up in Nuneaton was about to be engaged to someone who was shot in Burma. She had a breakdown early in 1943 as a result of both this and being in the Coventry bombings. I believe that the name of her boyfriend was Cyril Goldstraw - Cyril certainly but not really sure of the rest. I was also told that he came from Nelson in Lancashire but cannot be certain of it. I can find no birth for this person not anything in the military records that I have searched. Can anyone help? :-|
