Is it possible to learn any more about G.C. Trelawny? His parents were Warrenne B. Trelawny & Amy Russell Downson who married 16 June 1910. At some time they lived in Liphook Hants.
Thank you

You should be able to start by getting his first names from the BMD indexes. That will ease further research.

I have tried, but I only got "male Child"

And the Death and marriage indexes?.
(No-one said it would be easy).

Pauline.
Sgt.G.C. Trelawny killed in action 21-5-1940.
can find no marriage. I would love to know his name.
I possibly got his parents wrong-- they could be Lt.Col & Mrs L.C. Trelawny & he may have had a brother John.
This is proving anything but easy!!!

An excellent idea but did not return a result

Well, at the risk of sounding terse, it won't unless you actually bother to read the record.

Vesta :)
Just give in 'Trelawny' and nothing else - you'll see there is a man with a different first name registered at the date you quote, and one who should be yours dying in 1941.

could it be gerald conyers

Yes, it's Gerald & as a bonus I've found his brother John Walter. Next task to find maiden name of their mother I only know her as N.M. Trelawny. Their father was Conyers LancelotTrelawny. At least today I have achieved something with your help. Thanks Vesta

Hello - just starting here so apologies for reviving an old topic. I remember the Trelawny name in the 1950s in Bramshott (which is near to, and the parent parish of, Liphook). I have found the following relating to the Bramshott War Memorial:
TRELAWNY
Gerald Conyers
Sergeant (W.Op.) 911012 Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve. Died 01/06/1941 Age 27. Son of Lt.-Col. L. C. Trelawny, M.C. and Mrs. N. M. Trelawny, of Sea View, Isle of Wight, Hampshire. Formerly served in the R.N. His brother John Walter also died on service. Buried in Cirencester Cemetery, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom, Plot 10. C. of E. Row N. Grave 2.
and mentioned in a local paper:
TRELAWNY
John Walter
Captain 44994 1st Suffolk Regiment. Died 21 May 1940 Age 31. Son of Lt. Col. L.C. Trelawny M.C. and Mrs. N.M., Seaview Isle, Wight. Buried in PECQ Communal Cemetery, Pecq, Hainaut, Belgium, B4.
Hope this might still be of interest.

Thanks Dand C for replying.
After a lot of research I found that this family was a name change to Trelawny 2 generations earlier.

Hello my name is Andy and i have been researching the names of all the men named on the Bramshott parish war memorial in St. Marys church Bramshott near Liphook. I came accross your onlibe chat with regards to G.C.Trelawny who I believe to be the son of L. C. and N.M.Trelawny who at some point lived in Liphook. My hope is that one day I could have this research published locally as a lasting memorial. I would be very grateful if you could provide me with any information on this family. I believe Gerald also had a brother who was killed with the Suffolk regiment during the withdrawl of the B.E.F. in 1940.
