Hello everyone
I just wondered if it is possible to find records of Prisoners of WW2

My Aunts first Husband James Barry Wilson born 1920 Derby
Was captured Creta 1941
He serviced in Royal Marines But was in The German POW Camps during WW2

Thankyou
Olive

Can’t see anything at first glance.
WW2 Records are are still held by the MOD. You could order a copy for £30.

Thankyou once again

Hi Everyone
This is a continuation of my Aunt Vera born Cooke 1919 Nottingham
As my Aunt will hopefully make 100 years this year
I am trying to piece together her life
I have her Birth Certifate 1919 Nottingham
And both her Marriage Certifate s both the Husbands names
Her Mother and Fathers Marriage
Dates of births but not Certifate S

I have her departure date from Southampton 1954 19 th February
Also her return date from New York 1955 April 17th Vera traveled as Vera Wilson

The reason for contacting you all once again is =====
Vera Wilson born 1919 went to Canada to join Peter Hebblethwaite as he was joining the Mounted Police
I was wondering if there is any information of the passing out of theCanadian Mounted Police re who he was ???

The story goes that Vera went to New York as he was marrying some one else ?..

But my cousin and I have found photos of the Mounted Police Passing out dinner with Vera on them I think he came from England
Also other photos of Vera and Peter don’t know anything about him
Have you any ideas
Vera will be 100 years old this year and lives in Care Home So we don’t know if she will remember
Hoping Thankyou
Olive Jean

Google his name and see if you get any results

Info here about RCMP personnel files:

http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/genealogy-and-archival-research

If he didn't join before c1920, it doesn't look as if the information will be available to the public.

Thankyou both for your reply
So there isn’t a Peter Hebblethwaite travelling to Canada around Vera Wilson time
I think we are looking for a needle in. Haystack

My cousin and I have to try and find out from Vera She May remember ??

Bye for now and Thankyou
Do they have Census in Canada
Olive

Google

You said she was 'joining' the man - so he must have already been there!!

And bear in mind that if she was married and going to meet up with another man, she may not want to 'remember'
