Re: Sarah Parmiter died Rome 1906

Adrian Thank you very much for looking. Even though I have the various names for Anna it is still going to be hit and miss as she may have re-baptised, as her sister Sarah did, when reaching France.

Re: Merchant seamen/RNVR records WW2

Thank you Thunder

I am gradually working my way through all the relevant TNA records, compiling a list so that my husband and I can spend a day researching at Kew checking them out, but it is taking a while.

Re: Merchant seamen/RNVR records WW2

Re: Merchant seamen/RNVR records WW2

Forgot to mention I have also found at TNA Ref ADM 267/126
Various reports relating to 1940 in WW2
When I return from my next babysitting stint I will endeavour to make the trek down there to view this record. It may provide answers.

Re: 1921 census
