Title: cecil douglas salisbury b.1895 uk ? nz records
Post by: dogueduthibet on Monday 07 March 11 14:31 GMT (UK)
Hi
does anyone know anything about my great uncle Cecil Douglas Salisbury, known as Doug?
He was born in Somerset England but in 1932 sailed on the Ballarat to Sydney. His final destination is listed as New Zealand. He returned to England in 1945.
I am interested to know if he was in NZ between 1932 and 1945, if he married there or where he sailed back from
Thanks

On 5 April 1939 he was in England because on that date he took (and passed) his Aviator's Certificate at Weston Aero Club, flying a "Hornet Moth, Gipsy Major, 130". He gave his address as Home Bungalow, Locking Road East, Weston Super Mare. His birthdate was given as 5 September 1895 at Weston Super Mare; occupation was Airport Traffic Supt.
